Product information "De Krans Cape Vintage Reserve 2020"
De Krans Cape Vintage Reserve flows into the glass in a dark, almost ink-black colour with a plum-red rim and bewitches the nose with an exciting bouquet of red berries, violets, vanilla and dark chocolate. On the palate it is incredibly complex and full-bodied with rich and powerful notes of ripe fruit aromas of dried plum, mulberry and blackcurrant, wonderfully rounded off with undertones of dark cocoa and fine spices. Its excellent tannin structure provides excellent storage potential.

The carefully selected grapes for De Krans Cape Vintage Reserve were harvested by hand and on arrival at the winery they were destemmed, crushed and rapidly chilled in open fermentation tanks. The grapes were left to ferment spontaneously, i.e. the fermentation of the berries began exclusively by wild yeast cultures naturally occurring in the area. At the desired sugar level, the fermentation process was stopped by adding alcohol to the juice. The wine then matured for 20 months in large barrels.
