Klein Constantia Vin de Constance 2005 is the iconic dessert wine of the historic Klein Constantia estate in Cape Town, South Africa. Famously unctuous, complex and long-lived, Vin de Constance has seduced many a palate over the centuries, with the likes of Napoleon, Bismarck, Jane Austen and Charles Baudelaire having sung its praises. Produced from botrytised Muscat de Frontignan grapes, the wine is fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and 500-litre oak barrels, then matures in barrels for four years before release. Producer note. "Limpid gold in colour, with a light green tinge indicating freshness. Richly aromatic and complex aromas redolent of candied orange peel, sundried peach mingle with hints of sandalwood. The wine’s enticingly unctuous sweetness is balanced by perfectly-poised, fine acidity, carrying flavours of white peach, pears and mango to a nuttily savoury conclusion."
- (from shriveled but not botrytized muscat de Frontignan grapes; 157 g/l r.s. with 7.5 acidity): Full deep gold. Lovely perfumed nose combines cherry, orange peel, apricot, honey, sexy spices and wild herbs. Very sweet and extremely concentrated wine, with intriguing floral and spice notes contributing a tangy quality to the intense apricot, honeysuckle and yellow raisin flavors. The extremely long, honeyed finish boasts outstanding energy and floral lift. Harmonious from the outset but capable of many years of evolution in bottle.
