Klein Constantia
The historic Winery Klein Constantianestled in the breathtaking Constantia Valleyis known for its deep connection to South Africa's winemaking heritage. It is a timeless producer of the legendary natural sweet wine Vin de Constance, which has enchanted palates across all continents for centuries and reflects royal esteem. The winery Klein Constantia continues this tradition to this day.
The vineyards of Klein Constantia are dramatically built into the mountainside and benefit from the unique climate imprint shaped by the influence of False Bay. These conditions give the grapes an exceptional character. This unmistakable terroir produces wines of elegance, structure, and a vivid sense of where they come from, reflecting the winery's commitment to capturing the essence of its origins.
As the leading grape variety, above all Muscat de Frontignan is mentioned, from which the famous Vin de Constance is produced. In addition to this sweet wine, the winery also produces excellent Sauvignon Blanc.
Translation missing: en.Tasting notes
The Vin de Constance from Klein Constantia presents itself in a bright golden yellow. On the nose, intense aromas of apricots, mangoes and candied oranges unfold, accompanied by nutmeg and delicate citrus notes. On the palate, it shows a silky texture with perfectly integrated acidity that emphasizes ripe peach and mango flavors, complemented by fine spices. The finish is long and harmonious, with a lively balance between sweetness and acidity. An outstanding, complex dessert wine with impressive depth.

Muscat de Frontignan
Muscat de Frontignan ist eine aromatische weiße Rebsorte mit einem eigenständigen, deutlich traubigen Charakter. Typisch sind Orangenblüte, reife Zitrusfrüchte und Muskat, je nach Reife ergänzt durch Pfirsich und Honig. Die meist moderate Säure gibt der duftigen Frucht Kontur; Tannin spielt kaum eine Rolle. Süße Varianten wirken häufig weich und vollmundig, trocken ausgebaute Weine eher geradlinig und würzig.
Besonders eng verbunden ist die Sorte mit Frontignan im südfranzösischen Languedoc, wo sie traditionell für aufgespritete Süßweine verwendet wird. Auch Südafrika besitzt eine lange Tradition mit dieser Rebsorte. Das Spektrum reicht von frischen, blütenbetonten bis zu gereiften, honigwürzigen Stilistiken. Im Glas zeigt sich meist ein helles Gelb bis Gold, bei längerer Reife auch Bernstein. Trockene Varianten passen zu würzigen Gemüsegerichten, süße zu Fruchtdesserts oder Käse.
