DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Klein Constantia is a historic estate in Constantia, on the Cape Peninsula of South Africa. The Clara is named after Clara Eliza Hussey, an American heiress from Pittsburgh who bought the estate in 1913.
For this wine the estate picked six of its top Sauvignon Blanc vineyards, at 260 to 300 meters on granite soils, and kept each block separate. Only free-run juice was used, fermented with wild yeast in 500-liter neutral oak barrels, then aged nine months in neutral French oak and acacia. Only the top five barrels make the blend, so production is small. It is 13.9% alcohol.
The 2022 is pale straw, with citrus, stone fruit and a little wood spice on the nose. The palate is creamy but precise, with lime zest and gooseberry and a long finish. Bold, yet still fresh.
Serve at 48 to 52°F in a white wine glass. Try it with grilled fish, goat cheese salad or roast chicken with herbs.
Bottle size: 750ml
