Groot Constantia, Grand Constance 2015, Constantia, South Africa

Tasting Note: A muscat dessert wine with luscious fruit that shows why Constantia can’t be written off for quality dessert wine production, especially as one of the oldest wine-producing areas in the new world.

Medium-intensity amber in color this wine has an aromatic nose of lychee, rose blossom, dried apricot, green raisin, peach stone fruit, dried-green-apple slice and just-ripened honeydew melon.

On the palate the wine is sweet with fruit flavors suggested on the nose along with fragrant rose-bud flavors uniting the entire length of the taste.

The wine is high in acidity and balanced between the fruit and tertiary aging effects.

An impressive producer of tropical-fruit-flavored dessert wines.

Bottle Note: Natural sweet wine muscat.
