2022 | Klein Constantia Vin de Constance | Constantia | South Africa
The legendary sweet wine of Constantia — poured for kings and emperors, reborn from South Africa's oldest wine estate.
Vin de Constance is one of history's great dessert wines: the Constantia nectar that Napoleon, Frederick the Great and Jane Austen's characters coveted, made at Klein Constantia from unfortified late-harvest Muscat de Frontignan. Vinified without botrytis and aged slowly, it's an amber elixir of astonishing longevity, in the classic 500ml bottle.
A wine with three centuries of royal provenance is a rare thing to pour. An icon reborn, endlessly cellar-worthy → great vintages only appreciate → at $114.99 the half-liter you're pouring living wine history.
- 100% Muscat de Frontignan (Muscat Blanc Ă Petits Grains)
- Vin de Constance, Constantia — South Africa's historic sweet wine
- Klein Constantia; unfortified, non-botrytis late harvest
- 500ml — built to age for decades
Candied orange, apricot, honey and warm spice over a bright, saline-mineral lift that keeps it lithe rather than cloying. Translation: luscious but electric — marmalade and dried apricot cut with acidity, glorious with blue cheese, tarte tatin, or on its own.
A dessert wine emperors chased across oceans, in the cellar-worthy format. Exactly the bottle to open at a milestone — or hold for one.
