Product information "De Krans A Twist of Fate 2023"
De Krans A Twist of Fate is a brilliant cherry red in the glass with dreamy aromas of sweet strawberries and red cherries, paired with complex notes of fine spices, fragrant leather, masculine earthy tones and subtle notes of oak. On the palate, nuances of red berries and a blend of exciting spices pamper the senses. The soft tannins and the well-integrated play of acids skilfully round off the pleasure experience.

Tinta Amarela and Tinta Barroca were harvested at the same time and on arrival at the winery were first completely destemmed, crushed and immediately cooled down in open fermentation vats. The fermentation process started in a 100% natural way without any addition of commercial yeasts. At the start of fermentation, the free-flowing juice was drained from the fermentation vat and transferred to stainless steel tanks, where it fermented cool at a controlled 15 -18°C. The malolactic fermentation was also completed in stainless steel tanks, whereupon the wine was transferred to older or previously occupied French oak barrels, where the wine matured for 12 months before being bottled.
