Description

Klein Constantia Vin de Constance is one of the world's most iconic sweet wines, crafted exclusively from Muscat de Frontignan grapes grown in the cool, coastal Constantia region of South Africa. Renowned for its perfect balance of sugar, acidity, and alcohol while retaining freshness, this wine expresses the unique soils and climate of Klein Constantia with remarkable elegance and longevity.

Why You'll Love It

This is legendary winemaking revived—rich, layered, and remarkably elegant with decades of ageing potential. Klein Constantia is famed for reviving the legendary sweet wines of Constantia from the 1700s, combining centuries-old winemaking knowledge with modern techniques. Hand-harvested in multiple batches to capture a range of flavours and ripeness, the wine is aged for three years in 50% new French oak, acacia barrels, and large foudres. This is one of the world's most prestigious sweet wines, offering unparalleled finesse and complexity.

Vineyard & Production

Sourced exclusively from Muscat de Frontignan grapes grown in the cool, coastal Constantia region. Grapes are hand-picked over multiple passes to achieve optimal ripeness and acidity. After fermentation, the wine is aged for three years in 50% new French oak, acacia barrels, and large foudres. Detailed blending ensures perfect balance between alcohol, acidity, and sweetness, creating a wine with depth, complexity, and elegance.

Tasting Notes

Bright yellow-gold in colour with aromas of Seville marmalade, ginger spice, grapefruit, and subtle floral notes. The palate is rich and luxurious, full-bodied yet fresh, with perfect harmony of salinity, acidity, spice, and sweetness. Concentrated with suspended density, finishing with pithy astringency and remarkable length.

Perfect Pairings

Serve chilled with desserts such as tarte tatin, crème brûlée, or paired with blue cheeses like Roquefort or Stilton. Also excellent with foie gras, fruit-based desserts, or simply on its own. The high residual sugar and alcohol allow the wine to age gracefully for decades.
