From

Born in the majestic foothills of South Africa’s Constantiaberg mountain, these grapes are the muse of Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains. Klein Constantia’s story is one of resurrection. From the historic casks of a wine halted by time, to the sophisticated palates of today, it whispers, flirts, and dances into your senses — a sweet secret from the Cape’s cool embrace.

Production Process

Crafted from Muscat de Frontignan, each bottle promises the intimacy of handpicked selection and the artistry of tradition. Here, the secret lies in the balance — tenderly ripened grapes, a hint of noble rot, and the embrace of time in oak barrels. This is not just wine; it’s the craft of ages distilled into a glass.

The Cultural Significance

More than just a drink, Vin de Constance is a nod to South Africa’s rich viticultural legacy. Once the darling of European courts, it now returns as both an homage and a new experience awaiting devotees of history and indulgence.

Taste Profile

Golden amber in glass, embrace the aroma of a flourishing orchard. Honeysuckle, tangerine, and hints of vanilla form a fragrance that beckons. On the palate, expect a dance — sweet nectar balanced by a vibrant, lingering finish. It’s a sonnet of flavors, singing of its home by the Bay.

Recipes Featuring Vin de Constance
