Made from 100% Muscat de Frontignan, Vin de Constance from Klein Constantia Estate is one of the great sweet wines of the world. The 2015 vintage was the beginning of a 3-year drought in the Cape, resulting in the earliest harvest since 1986 and grapes of remarkable concentration of flavour. Bright gold in appearance, the nose offers up alluring scents of stone fruits, marmalade, citrus blossom and honeycomb. The palate is rich and creamy, with judicious use of oak adding subtle layers of toasty spices, and pinpoint acidity providing welcome freshness.

Vinous
The 2015 Vin de Constance is limpid silver-gold in the glass. It has a bouquet of acacia honey, marmalade and pressed yellow flowers, plus a slight adhesive note in the background; I cannot recall a Vin de Constance with such intense aromatics. The palate is viscous on the entry, and a vital bead of acidity lends balance and freshness. This is an all-consuming, multidimensional wine with marmalade and dried quince notes mixed with Moroccan spices toward an unctuous finish that leaves your head spinning. Awesome - but it is not the most tensile Vin de Constance I have tasted. Neal Martin1st November 2019
