Information about "De Krans Cape Vintage Reserve 2020"
With an imposing ink-like appearance, the De Krans Cape Vintage Reserve 2020 displays a vibrant plum-red edge. Its aromatic bouquet offers a captivating blend of ripe red berries and cherries, complemented by delicate floral notes of violets and hints of dark chocolate. The palate reveals a sumptuous array of dark fruit flavors, including ripe plums, mulberries, and black currants, elegantly supported by smooth dark chocolate undertones and structured tannins. This distinguished wine is crafted from vines aged over 30 years, thriving in Karoo clay and sandy soils. Hand-harvested in selected plots from mid to late February, the blend features Touriga Nacional (71%) and Tinta Roriz (29%) grapes.
The selected grapes for the De Krans Cape Vintage Reserve were meticulously handpicked and upon arrival at the winery de-stemmed, crushed, and quickly cooled in open fermenters. The grapes underwent spontaneous fermentation using only wild yeast cultures native to the area. Once the desired sugar level was achieved, the fermentation process was halted by adding alcohol to the must. The wine then matured for 12 months in large barrels.
