Product information "Klein Constantia Vin de Constance 2018"
The small Constantia Grand Vin de Constance presents itself in a glass of golden yellow colour and exudes a bouquet of aromatic citrus fruit, ginger and fresh nutmeg that bewitches the senses. On the palate, an elegant and well rounded pleasure experience with harmonious acidity and an incredibly creamy mouthfeel opens up. The aromas already absorbed by the nose also unfold on the palate. This full, rich and refreshing wine ends in a long and concentrated finish and gives pleasure of a very special kind.
A piece of history from South Africa's historically colourful treasure chest!

For the production of this first-class drop, several harvests were made during the season in different phases. The ripest berries were always harvested, which in the production phase create an excellent balance of acidity, sugar concentration and alcohol. This perfect balance allows the fermentation to end naturally and does not require any further intervention in the natural vinification process. This wine is the first-class result of absolute attention to detail. Starting with the selection of the grapes and berries, through the ripening period in the barrel and on to storage - a masterpiece of remarkable class! Klein Constancia Vin de Constance matured for a total of 3 years in a combination of 50% new French and Hungarian oak and French acacia wood. After completion of the barrel ageing, the wine matured for another 6 months in stainless steel tanks before being bottled.
