The Klein Constantia Vin de Constance 2021 is a truly legendary sweet wine. This 500ml bottle continues a tradition enjoyed by royalty since the 18th century. The 2021 vintage is celebrated as a near-perfect year in South Africa, offering remarkable balance and freshness. It is made from 100% naturally raisined Muscat de Frontignan grapes. The wine is aged for an extended period in a combination of oak barrels and large foudres. This process builds texture and complexity. Winemaker Matt Day calls the 2021 a refined and toned wine. This exquisite dessert wine finishes clean, despite its inherent sweetness.
