Discover the legend of South Africa’s most iconic natural sweet wine with the exquisite Klein Constantia Vin de Constance 2023. Handcrafted in the cool-climate Constantia valley, Klein Constantia Vin de Constance 2023 delivers pure luxury, concentration, and age-defying vibrancy in every 500ml bottle. The wet 2023 growing season in Constantia led to 10% botrytis—the highest proportion recorded since 1997—giving this release an extraordinarily exotic and aromatic feel. Winemaker Matthew Day harvested 100% Muscat de Frontignan over 25 individual vineyard passes from mid-February to mid-April, carefully picking grapes at every stage from fresh berries to raisined fruit.

The wine opens with alluring aromas of candied lemon, orange marmalade, quince, and delicate white flowers. On the palate, a weightless intensity unfolds through layers of dried apricot, crystallised citrus, butterscotch, and warm spice. Tangy natural acidity perfectly cuts through the sweetness, leaving a long, mineral-driven finish.
