Klein Constantia Vin de Constance 1991 is a mature sweet wine from South Africa’s Constantia region, crafted from Muscat de Frontignan grapes. The fruit is sourced from the Klein Constantia estate, located on the upper foothills of the Constantiaberg, with vineyards close to the Atlantic Ocean. The wine offers aromas of dried fruits, honey and subtle spice. Its sustained sweetness is offset by vibrant acidity, contributing to a length that reflects the meticulous craftsmanship of Klein Constantia, one of South Africa`s oldest wine estates, established in 1685.

The 1991 Vin de Constance is a vintage that I have not tasted for a long time, chosen because Matt Day feels that the residual sugar level, variable from vintage to vintage at that time, correlates closely to today’s. It has a deep amber hue, darker than the equivalent of a Sauternes of similar age. The nose offers scents of caramel, crème brûlée and tangerine, clean and attractive, though not intense. The palate displays fine weight and depth, viscous in texture with a slight nuttiness developing over the course of 20 minutes. Mandarin and desiccated orange peel linger on a finish that has fine length. Personally, I would not cellar this longer because it is at its peak. Neal Martin25th July 2022
