Origin

Wine of Origin Constantia, South Africa.

In the vineyard

A shorter harvest due to drought led to faster ripening of the fruit, which produced berries with concentrated flavors and well-balanced acidity.
Thanks to the renovation of the cellar, the perfect maceration and fermentation of the Moscato took place in dedicated tanks. Throughout the season the harvest was divided into batches, from the riper berries which have great acidity to the raisins due to their sugar concentration. Each batch is kept separate and treated differently. The grapes chosen for Vin de Constance demonstrate the perfect relationship between sugar, alcohol and acidity, which allows the wine to stop fermentation naturally and without intervention.

In the cellar

The wine matures in 50% new French oak, Hungarian oak and French acacia barrels. After 3 years in barrel on the yeasts, racking takes place. This is followed by another 6 months in tanks before bottling.
