- 98 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: „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.“
- 98 Punkte JANE ANSON: „The most gorgeous mix of straw, powerful citrus, apricot, fresh juicy white pear and peach, tons of stone fruits and spice, graphite and smoke. As ever this is both subtle and overpowering, managing push and pull and so so good - both lusciously sweet and a breath of fresh air running through your palate. As I say every time I drink Vin de Constance, if every sweet wine tasted like this, there would be no sales crisis in the category. Drink now, or allow the flavours to deepen further over the next decade.“
- 19+ Punkte WEINWISSER: „Er zeigt eine würzig-tiefe Muscat-Nase mit enormem Zitrus-Charakter und weit gefächerten Kräuternoten, Lavendel, Limetten, Zitronenzesten, Kumquats, Mango und Passionsfrucht, sowie unaufzählbare weitere Aromen. Alles wirkt sehr komplex und frisch arrangiert im Duftbild. Süß, frisch und salzig, bringt der Vin de Constance eine grandiose, dichte Struktur auf die Zunge, ist wahnsinnig würzig und dennoch klar, voll ausgereift und doch leicht wie ein Aperitif. Seine feine Gerbstoffpräsenz bleibt ewig lang und salzig-pfeffrig am Gaumen, der Nachhall ist immer transparent und nie zuckrig. Ein begeisternder Süßwein. 19+/20 –2045 (TB)“

Notizen des Weinguts: | The buit up to the 2018 harvest included the highest summer rainfall oft he past 6 years as well as some oft he coldest average night time temperatures, giving the vines a long and slow growing season. According to statistics the South African 2018 harvest was 2 weeks later than usual and most crops were down by 15%. Our bunches were lighter, however our berries were small and perfect. Description: Bright and yellow gold in Colour. The nose is layered with complex flavors of Seville marmalade, ginger spice and grapefruit. A rich and luxurious mouthfeel, the wine is full bodied, fresh and vibrant. The palate is balanced showcasing a perfect harmony between salinity, acidity, spice and sweetness. Concentrated with suspended density, it concludes with a pithy astringency and a lingering finish. Wine record: The 2018 vintage of Vin de Constance was a textbook with cold weather. We harvested 21 different batches, starting early February, bringing in grapes with higher acidity, and continuing until mid April, bringing in grapes with more amturity and flavour. These individual parcels are the unique components which form the building blocks of Vin de Constance. They allow us to craft a wine that hast he perfect balance between alcohol, acidity and sugar. The final wine entails a detailed and focused period of blending, during and after fermentation. This wine was aged for 3 years in a combination of 50% new French oak barrels, a small amount of acacia barrels, as well as large format foudres before final blending and then bottling. Maturation: The combination of residual sugar and alcoj´hol levels has a well known preservative effect on bottled wine. This wine is capable of ageing for many decades if not generations from release. |
