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.
