Considered one of the world`s most exceptional sweet wines, the renowned and alluring Vin de Constance is a delightful creation from Klein Constantia, situated just 20km from Cape Town. The 2007 vintage, regarded as one of the decade`s finest, benefited from a prolonged, temperate growing season that intensified flavours and heightened its aromatic qualities. The late summer, characterized by warmth and dryness, provided the ideal environment for the Muscat de Frontignan grapes to naturally raisin while still on the vine.

Vinous
The 2007 Vin de Constance has a comparatively higher level of residual sugar at 177g/L and the highest total acidity at 8.3g/L. It is a burnished amber color and presents an intriguing, complex bouquet of burnt honey, syrup, figs and subtle earthy/peaty tones that become more prominent with aeration. The palate is as fresh as a daisy, delivering superb acidity and impressive weight. Tangy marmalade and quince notes enliven the entry, and the midpalate is very cohesive, although it tapers in a little toward the finish when you would expect it to fan out. Nevertheless, this is an excellent, characterful Vin de Constance.
