in the vineyard : 

De Krans Wine Cellar is situated along the upper reaches of the picturesque Gamka River Valley near Calitzdorp. The history of the farm dates back to 1890 when the current owners’ great grandfather bought part of the first farm established in Calitzdorp, named Buffelsvallei (“Buffalo valley”) on the edge of the municipal boundary of Calitzdorp.

The first grapes were planted in 1936 mainly for the production of raisins and some sweet wine. In 1964 the present cellar was built and De Krans quickly became well-known for quality ports and Muscat sweet wines, as well as dry table wines. The current owners and winemaker now take advantage of the unique Calitzdorp terroirto produce great quality Cape ports and table wines from a whole range of interesting grape varieties.
about the harvest: Hand harvested from old, low yielding vineyards at the beginning of January. Grapes are picked at low sugars to ensure maximum fruit flavours and low alcohols.
in the cellar : The grapes are harvested early morning to ensure cool temperatures. After the grapes are destemmed and crushed, the juice is left on the skins for a short period. Cold-fermented until dry, after which Muscadel juice is added to sweeten the wine and CO2 added just before bottling
