De Krans

Portuguese varietals from Calitzdorp's Klein Karoo terroir.

De Krans is situated in Calitzdorp, a distinctive corner of Klein Karoo in South Africa's Western Cape. The winery focuses on Portuguese varietals, drawing on the region's warm, dry climate to craft fortified and dry wines. Its Tinta Roriz expresses the grape's dark fruit and structured tannins, while the Touriga Nacional showcases the variety's characteristic spice and depth. The Cape Vintage Reserve, a blend of Tinta Barroca and Touriga Nacional, demonstrates the winery's command of these traditional Portuguese grapes in a South African context. Wines from De Krans have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Wine Spectator.
