About
De Krans Wine Cellar is situated along the upper reaches of the picturesque Gamka River Valley in Calitzdorp in the Klein Karoo. The rich and long history of the farm dates to 1890, when it was bought by the Nel family. The current cellar was built in 1964 by Chris Nel and his brother Danie. De Krans was the first in South Africa to produce a Touriga Nacional as a dry red wine.
Product Features
- Nose: An elegant bouquet of bright citrus, lime, and grapefruit, balanced by unexpected, savory notes of creamy butterscotch and a distinct chalky minerality
- Palate: Well-rounded and full-flavoured. It mirrors the nose with vibrant lime and grapefruit, underpinned by a smooth, buttery texture from the lees aging
- Notes: Refreshing and complex with well-integrated acidity and a long, lingering aftertaste
- Pairing: Excellent with firm-fleshed fish (like Yellowtail or Tuna), creamy pastas, or a classic Sunday roast chicken. It also pairs surprisingly well with Pizzas
