Vin De Constance 2013

Klein Constantia

Case Format: 6x50cl

Max score: 96.0

With a history that can be traced back four centuries, Klein Constantia have repeatedly crafted outstanding wines, born from South Africa’s incredible landscape. Comprising a terroir of granite soils on slopes, complete with a micro-climate of cool ocean breezes, the South African estate has proven to be the perfect environment to create world-class wines.
Vin de Constance 1986 was launched in 1990 to instant acclaim, and international accolades have followed for every vintage since then. A rich and luxurious mouthfeel, the wine is full bodied, fresh and vibrant. The palate is balanced showcasing a perfect harmony between salinity, acidity, spice and sweetness. Concentrated with suspended density and infinite length, its dense flavours linger after each sip.

Neal Martin

The 2013 Vin de Constance Natural Sweet Wine was matured in 500-liter barrels for around 36 months. It has a beautiful bouquet with honey, quince, pressed yellow flowers and Mirabelle. It has wonderful definition and purity. The palate is very well balanced with a mellifluous texture and beautifully judged acidity as it just sashays along. It fans out on the finish with honey, quince, a touch of rhubarb and ginger, extraordinarily persistent in the mouth. Matthew Day, current winemaker, opined that he thought the 2012 would be the best ever, but the freshness might see it overtaken. This is awesome.

Decadent and rich aromas of honey, apricot tart, treacle, caramel and dried white flowers. Very full-bodied with a dense palate of delightful fruit and wonderful sweetness. Long finish. Drink now or hold. Always fantastic.
