Description

Klein Constantia Dry Riesling — Rare South African Expression

Riesling is rare in South Africa — very few estates attempt it, and even fewer achieve genuine quality. Klein Constantia's cool Constantia Valley site is one of the few locations in the Cape where Riesling can develop the acidity, minerality and aromatic intensity that the variety demands. This is an exciting, distinctive wine for adventurous drinkers.

Intensely aromatic: lime blossom, green apple, white peach and a petrol-like mineral note that Riesling lovers will recognise from the best Alsatian and German examples. The palate is bone-dry with laser-sharp acidity, a weightless texture and a long, mineral finish. Pure, precise and utterly refreshing.

Exceptional with Asian cuisine — the acidity and aromatics cut through spice, oil and umami like no other variety. Also brilliant with seafood, sushi, fresh salads and Thai green curry. Serve well chilled at 6–8°C. A conversation-starting wine that challenges assumptions about South African wine.

Store in a cool, dark place. Drinks well young but can age gracefully for 5–10 years, developing greater complexity. Delivered to your door in Hong Kong. Under Hong Kong law, intoxicating liquor must not be sold or supplied to a minor in the course of business.
