Critics Ratings

‘Iconic, oak-aged and age worthy dessert from unbotrytised Muscat de Frontignan. Drop-dead gorgeous 2012, exotic tropical fruit, marzipan and fynbos notes, silky sweetness. Racy acidity, energising freshness enhanced by tight-grained acacia oak joining the usual mix of new/used French/Hungarian oak.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2017, 5*

'Intense, with dried orange peel, nectarine, apricot and kumquat notes laced with a vibrant green tea edge. The long finish picks up a bitter almond hint for added tension, while the unctuous fruit sails through. This is still very youthful and densely packed, so no rush at all. Muscat de Frontignan. Drink now through 2040.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 95/100 (Sep 2016)

‘The 2012 Vin de Constance won’t be released for another year, but put a note in your diary to buy some when it is. Sweeter and more alcoholic than the 2011, but somehow fresher and brighter, too, it’s floral, pure and focused, with notes of orange zest, tarte tatin and well integrated oak. Shaping up to be the best Vin de Constance yet. Drink: 2016-25. Overall Sweet Wine of the Year.’ - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2015, 97/100
