Product Details

Code: KC004

Klein Constantia is one of South Africa's most famous – and historic – wine producers, located in Constantia in the hills overlooking southwest Cape Town. This historic wine was a favorite of the courts of Europe in the 19th Century, and is mentioned in the literature of Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. It was famously requested by Napoleon Bonaparte on his deathbed. The estate was once part of a larger estate called Constantia, established in 1685 by Simon van Der Stel, the then-Governor. In 1817, the estate was broken up into Groot (big) and Klein (small) Constantia, the latter of which was already under vine.

Bright green gold in appearance. The nose bursts with peach and floral aromas and a fine minerality. Full bodied, the palate is fresh and aromatic with a firm acid backbone. Citrus flavors persist well into the finish and are supported by a broad, elegant mouthfeel.
