Klein Constantia Vin de Constance 2020 Bottle size: 500ml
South Africa, Constantia
R1,400
‘World-renowned & highly individual Natural Sweet from muscat de Frontignan, 2020 picked over 19 separate occasions, creating contrasting layers of white flowers, perfume & fresh acid with richer litchi & apricot flavours culminating in a pith & peel finish. 50% new oak, some Hungarian, 18 months, then old foudres, same duration. Also-tasted 2019 (95 pts) starting to show some development but both are wines for the ages..’ – Platter's Guide, 5* (97/100)
‘The latest Vin de Constance is a very good rather than truly great iteration of this famous sweet wine, but that still makes it pretty special. Made with 28 different batches of Muscat de Frontignan, picked over the space of only three weeks because of the hotter vintage, it has honey, barley sugar, guava and apricot flavours, scented oak spices and a finish that combines glycerol with bright acidity. 2024-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 96/100
