A fitting finale to this auction, the KWV Muscadel 1930 needs no further accolade - its pedigree speaks fori tself. Revered for its balance, enduring structure, and a trophy cabinet spanning decades, this wine stands as a timeless tribute to South Africa's fortified winemaking excellence. Rich raisin, honey, and warm spice aromas unfold into a palate of astonishing harmony, reflecting the mastery of those who came before. The sweetness, acidity, and fruit are still interwoven, finishing with a smooth, lingering elegance that defies its age. As the curtain falls on this year's auction, it does so with grace and grandeur.
