The tasting |

Bright purplish red. |

|
Magnificent aromas of red berries, juicy blackcurrant and subtle bell pepper notes. |
|
| | |
|
Brilliant freshness combined with broad, voluptuous amplitude perfectly define this cuvée. This is followed by an enveloping tannic structure, with long persistence and refined balance. |

The estate and the wine |
|
|
Twenty kilometers from Cape Town, Klein Constantia has been producing the famous Vin de Constance since 1685, a nectar prized by all the courts of Europe and the world's great and good, made from Muscat de Frontignan; Napoleon Bonaparte, it is said, drank it on St. Helena... More than 300 years of history that equals the most prestigious Sauternes or sweet wines from the Loire and Alsace! |
|
| | |
|
A blend of Cabernet, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, the 2020 red Constantia Valley Estate reveals lovely aromas of blackcurrant, bell pepper, and pepperoni in a framework of great charm, characterized by freshness and voluptuousness. It is a very well-crafted, controlled wine, perfect for pairing with dishes like piperade or Basque chicken. Rated 90/100 by the Committee. |
