Slight orangey yellow. Rich nose with apricot, honey, white floral and light sweet spices. Balanced acidity with medium bodied. Layered palate with acacia wood, perfumes notes, honeysuckle, sweet stone fruits and golden raisins. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2028.

Delicious rare sweet white from South Africa enjoyed by presidents, prime ministers, and by Napolean in his final
exile (he hated it but then he wasn't in a good mood).

Vintage 2008 / Have a weak spot for this Vin de Constance. Figs, orange, Turkish delight and an impeccable balance. Interesting wine / Paired with Moelleux aux Chocolate

Heaven in a glass. Brilliantly balanced 150 g/L residual sugar with vibrating acidity. Toasted walnuts drizzled with honey and tons of sweet raisins.
