On the nose it has a very floral aroma of candied orange peel, cardamom, honey and orange marmalade, kumquat and white lilies. Hints of fresh mandarin peel and rose water as well as candied sweet almonds in the background. On the palate the wine is subtly spicy with a wonderful tension, fine freshness and a salty hint. (...) A wine of great elegance and finesse with convincing length and a promising future.

Klein Constantia

Klein Constantia is a respected winery based in the picturesque wine region of Constantia Valley, South Africa. Since its establishment in the late 17th century, Klein Constantia has earned a reputation for its award-winning wines and stunning scenery.

The sweet wine “Vin de Constance” made this winery world famous and was even appreciated by European royal families in the 18th century.In 1980, Duggie Jooste took over the run-down Klein Constantia winery and dared to make a fresh start. Three years later, he planted the vineyards with the Muscat de Frontignan grape variety. Since 1986, this grape variety has been used to produce the "Vin de Constance", a tribute to the legendary 18th century wine Constantia, whose most famous fan was probably 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.

Today, Klein Constantia sets standards in winemaking by combining traditional methods with modern technology to produce wines of exceptional quality. With views of Table Mountain and the ocean, the winery offers visitors a unique environment to taste excellent wines and experience the rich history of the Constantia Valley.
