VIN DE CONSTANCE 2012

The 2012 represents the beginning of a new journey in the story of Vin de Constance. This is the first of many amazing vintages to come under new management and ownership at Klein Constantia and was truly an exciting vintage to be apart of. A long, cool summer provided for one of the most stressful but successful vintages to date which ranged for a record 3 months starting at the end of January and ending at the end of April.

MATURATION

The wine was aged in a combination of 60 % new French oak, Hungarian oak and French Acacia. It was left for a period of 2.5 years in barrel on the gross lees before racking out and blending, the wine then spent a further 6 months in tank before bottling.
