Vin de Constance
Bottle size:
500 ml
Shipping: R90 nationwide
"The wet 2023 vintage in Constantia resulted in 10% botrytis, the highest proportion since 1997, giving the resulting wine a slightly more exotic feel. Macerated on skins for two weeks before fermentation, followed by ageing in 50% new Austrian, French and Hungarian oak, it has layers of guava, peach and tarte tatin, 162 grams of residual sugar, a plush, ample palate and enough acidity to lift and freshen the finish. Broader than the 2022. 2027-40" – Tim Atkin MW South Africa Report 2026, 97 points
