Tasting note

品飲筆記：杯中呈現明亮金黃色，先是花香撲鼻：金銀花、橙花與玫瑰瓣，隨之而來的是檸檬皮、蜜餞芒果與成熟杏桃的果乾香。入口豐潤而不膩，蜜糖與橘皮果醬的甜感被清爽的柑橘酸度切割，並由薑、藏紅花與淡淡香草縈繞，收尾悠長且帶有微鹹的尾韻。 酒莊與葡萄園：出自歷史名莊 Klein Constantia，酒莊在近代復興，現由 Zdenek Bakala 與 Charles Harman 經營。每一區塊皆以手工管理，採收分多次進行，對每箱採果者編號回溯，嚴格篩選只留下最頂級的果實。 釀造與陳年：採收以多批次、逐粒挑選為原則，從高酸青果到自然風乾之葡萄均分開處理。冷浸皮接觸可長達兩週，輕壓入500公升橡木桶發酵，待自然停止（6個月至1年不等）。之後約18個月於500L桶（約五成新桶）陳放，再轉入大型桶繼續熟成，使甜度、酒精與酸度達到優雅平衡。 飲用建議：建議微冰鎮並提前約30分鐘醒瓶，能更好展現細緻花香與果味。搭配水果派、烤布蕾、鵝肝或陳年藍紋起司及堅果甜點，都能相得益彰。

Tasting note: Bright gold in the glass, this revered sweet wine opens with an immediately floral, perfumed bouquet — honeysuckle, orange blossom and rose — layered over citrus peel, dried mango and apricot. The palate is lush and richly textured yet lit by vibrant citrus acidity: marmalade and honeyed stone fruit ride a thread of ginger, saffron and gentle vanilla, finishing long and saline-sweet rather than cloying. Producer & vineyard: Made by Klein Constantia, a historic Constantia estate revived in the late 20th century and now managed by owners Zdenek Bakala and Charles Harman. Vineyard parcels are hand-managed and picked in numerous selective passes; every lug box is traceable to the picker to ensure premium fruit quality. Winemaking & ageing: Grapes are harvested in many successive passes — from lively, high-acid bunches to concentrated raisined berries used for the wine’s richest components. Individual batches are cold-macerated (up to two weeks), pressed into 500L barrels and fermented until the natural yeast stops, a process that can take six months to a year. The wine spends extended time in oak: roughly 18 months in 500L barrels (c.50% new) followed by further maturation in large foudres, creating balance between sugar, alcohol and bright acidity. Serve slightly chilled after a 20–40 minute open to release aromatics. Ideal with fruit desserts, richer custards, or boldly flavored cheeses; works beautifully alongside foie gras and nutty pastries.
