Vin de Constance Natural Sweet Wine 2018 Klein Constantia

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (96)

Bright, floral and fresh, the 2018 Vin de Constance Natural Sweet Wine presents a nose full of focused fruits with power and precision while possessing a beautiful balance of flowers and stone fruit aromas. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is not overly sweet but harmonious and seductively pleasurable. Bright acidity paired with a perfect sparring partner of succulent sweetness duel for attention before ending with a long, ever-evolving, spicy finish that has me coming back for more. I'm not spitting any of this out.

James Suckling (98)

Extraordinary aromas of white peaches, apricots, vanilla and flowers. Full-bodied and very sweet with so much sweet and dried fruit, such as apricots and tangerines, yet it maintains citrusy freshness and texture, with a long, very sweet finish. Always energetic and vivid. Great length to this. Goes on for minutes. It’s a sweet wine to drink when young, to marvel over the intensity and verve, yet also one to age for decades. Drink or hold.

100% Muscat de Frontignan.
Another brilliant nose from Vin de Constance. Very floral, with notes of fresh grapes, sultanas and honey. The palate is fleshy and complex with spice. Ginger, lemongrass and yuzu come through with further notes of honey and sultana. Despite the sweetness, there is a lightness of touch. Vibrant, powerful fruit and earthy ginger and saffron linger on a very long finish.
