South Africa - Vin de Constance L. Jooste - 50 cl

South Africa's benchmark sweet white wine.

 Klein Constantia Vin Doux Nature is a South African wine produced by the Klein Constantia winery, located in the Cape region of South Africa. This wine is famous for its production of sweet wines, including the famous "Vin de Constance," which is a classic example of a natural sweet wine from this region.

Type of wine and grape varieties:

Klein Constantia is a natural sweet wine, which means that it is made by interrupting the fermentation of the grape must with alcohol, thus retaining some of the grapes' natural sugar. The main grape variety used for this wine is Muscat de Frontignan, also known as Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains. This grape variety is renowned for its floral fragrance and sweet flavour.

Tasting recommendations :

• Appearance: Klein Constantia Vin Doux Naturel is generally golden or amber in colour.
• Nose: On the nose, you can expect intense aromas of ripe fruit, candied citrus, honey, flowers and dried fruit.
• Palate: Rich and sweet on the palate, with a velvety texture. Flavours of tropical fruit, apricot, candied orange and honey often dominate, with balanced acidity to counterbalance the sweetness.

Serving temperature :

Klein Constantia Vin Doux Naturel is generally served at a temperature of 12 to 14 degrees Celsius (54 to 57 degrees Fahrenheit). This temperature allows the wine's aromas and sweetness to come through without it feeling too cold.

Food and wine pairing :

• This naturally sweet wine is ideal with sweet desserts, such as fruit tarts, honey cakes, crème brûlée or blue cheeses. It can also be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif, combined with dried fruit or chocolate.
• When it comes to food and wine pairings, it's important to note that this type of wine is generally quite sweet, so it's best to pair it with dishes that aren't as sweet to avoid the wine appearing too syrupy. Hard cheeses and savoury dishes are generally not the best choices to accompany this wine.
