Rich and luxurious
More Info
Tasting Notes: Bright and yellow gold in colour. The nose is layered with complex flavours of Seville marmalade, ginger spice and grapefruit. A rich and luxurious mouthfeel, the wine is full bodied, fresh and vibrant. The palate is balanced showcasing a perfect harmony between salinity, acidity, spice and sweetness. Concentrated with suspended density, it concludes with a pithy astringency and a lingering finish.
“Extraordinary aromas of white peaches, apricots, vanilla and flowers. Fullbodied and very sweet with so much sweet and dried fruit, such as apricots and tangerines, yet it maintains citrusy freshness and texture, with a long, very sweet finish. Always energetic and vivid. Great length to this. Goes on for minutes. It’s a sweet wine to drink when young, to marvel over the intensity and verve, yet also one to age for decades.” 98 points James Suckling’s Top 100 Wines of 2021 Klein Constantia Vin de Constance 2018
Food Match : Serve chilled as an accompaniment to desserts such as tarte tatin and crème brûlée, or to cheeses such as Roquefort and Stilton. The combination of high residual sugar and alcohol levels has a well-known preservative effect on bottled wine, allowing the wine to age for at least 20 years.
