Klein Constantia Vin De Constance 2021 500ml

VIN DE CONSTANCE 2021: ‘OVERALL SWEET WINE OF THE YEAR!’ – TIM ATKIN

‘Produced in what Matt Day describes as a “perfect” year from Vin de Constance, featuring a long, cool, three-week harvest, the 2021 release has no botrytis but amazing concentration, freshness and intensity. Combining grapes from 25 batches, this confirms the wine’s standing as one of the world’s great stickies, with layers of orange blossom, jasmine, quince, marmalade and tarte tatin, 168 grams of residual sugar and remarkable freshness and palate length.’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 98/100

Bright light gold in appearance. The nose is layered with aromas of apricots, sandalwood spice & Seville marmalade. A crisp acidity and salinity, with flavours by flavours of nutmeg, citrus, jasmine flower and rose water. Creamy and rich, the palate is textured and complex with a delicate wood spice on the mid palate. The is a fine balance between sugar and acidity, creating a dryer style of Vin de Constance. Concentrated and lively, the wine concludes with a long pithy and almost bitter finish.

Grape variety Muscat de Frontignan
