2020 Klein Constantia Vin De Constance South Africa 500mL

Dating back to 1685, Klein Constantia’s Vin de Constance is one of history’s most revered sweet wines—poured at Sanssouci for Frederick the Great, shipped by the crate to Napoleon Bonaparte, and immortalized by Jane Austen in Sense and Sensibility as "some of the finest old Constantia wine... that ever was tasted." The 2020 vintage lives up to that royal pedigree, earning 97 points from The Wine Advocate as "one of the finest expressions of Vin de Constance to date." Three years of precise oak and foudre aging balance its natural sweetness with energetic acidity, unfolding in rich layers of Seville marmalade, quince, saffron, and candied citrus. With an officially rated 50-year drinking window extending through 2070, this is an extraordinary cellaring piece. While it carries a $140 release price, our $75 offer drops this world-class bottle to nearly half off. Secure your allocation before it sells out.
