About Producer Nerdy stuff Serving

Klein Constantia, a wine producer that encapsulates the essence of South African winemaking. With a history that dates back centuries, their dedication to quality and tradition shines through every sip. Nestled on elevated slopes, their vineyards enjoy a unique advantage—being among the Cape's chilliest. This distinctive climate lends a touch of magic to their wines, concentrating the flavors in every grape.

Fermentation

The grapes were hand picked in small crates. Sorting occurred before and after destemming. Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tronconic tanks. Lengthy pump-overs and extended maceration ensured a gentle extraction of ripe polyphenols.

Maturation

The wine spent total of 19 months in wood, 50% new French Oak 400 liter barrels, the remaining 50% in 2nd fill.
