2017 Klein Constantia, Vin de Constance, Constantia, South Africa

This is one of the sweet wine releases of the year for me, a top class sweet wine with a great pedigree, a hedonistic touch of distinction for a dinner party finale. Bright, golden colour with a deep and enticing nose of white flowers, orange blossom, ripe peach, apricots and honey; notes of white almonds, ginger and nutmeg, add a nutty, spicy feel lifting the general aromatic profile.

On the palate the wine has an remarkable presence and elegance, a velvety texture with excellent balance of alcohol, sugar and zesty acidity that will allow the wine age for decades if not generations. Everything is in place filled with flavours of nectarines, apricot, tangerine, soft yellow plum and honeyed almonds, a real delight that lingers on the mouth while invites to the next sip of joy.
