Klein Constantia Constantia Valley - Vin de Constance White 2022

Wine:

The 2022 Vin de Constance impresses with its aromatic richness and singular depth. The nose opens with a generous array of aromas: juicy apricot, quince, candied pineapple, and persimmon, joined by roasted fig, salted caramel, elderflower, and a delicate hint of sweet spice. On the palate, the attack is bright and vibrant, revealing flavors of ripe peach, nectarine, dried mango, and lychee, carried by a refreshing saline backbone and oak seamlessly integrated through barrel aging. The finish is long and dry, subtly spiced, marking a vintage of rare elegance and remarkable persistence.

A legendary wine with extraordinary complexity. Just twenty kilometers from Cape Town, Klein Constantia produces the famous Vin de Constance, a nectar once prized by the royal courts of Europe and enjoyed by the world’s great figures. It is said that Napoleon Bonaparte drank it during his exile on Saint Helena. Each bottle holds more than 300 years of history, rivaling the most prestigious Sauternes or the finest sweet wines of the Loire Valley and Alsace. A legend that has endured since 1685.
