Klein Constantia Vin Constance 2017

South Africa / Western Cape / Coastal Region / Cape Town / Constantia

The sweet wine "Vin de Constance" has made this winery world famous. In 1980 Duggie Jooste took over the run-down Weingut Klein Constantia and ventured a new start. Three years later, he planted the mostly biodynamically cultivated vineyards with the Muscat de Frontignan grape variety. The "Vin de Constance" has been produced from this grape variety since 1986, a homage to the legendary Constantia wine of the 18th century, whose most well-known fan was Napoleon Bonaparte. The harvest lasts two months, as only perfectly healthy and ripe grapes are harvested by hand in many passes. The special thing about this noble sweet wine is that it is not fortified.
