THE Commitment of De Krans Wine Cellar from Calitzdorp to producing a quality product has been acknowledged by the South African Wine & Cellar Classifications, with De Krans recognised as one of the Top 10 Cape Port producers over the past 10 years (2010 to 2019).
Two of De Krans’s port-style wines, the Cape Tawny Limited Release and Cape Vintage Reserve, were included on this prestigious list. The Cape Vintage Reserve Port, which stood out as one of the most successful South African wines over a 10-year period, was recognised with a place in the Classification’s Top Wine SA Hall of Fame for 2020.
To be eligible for the Classification, which has been updated annually since 2004, wines of the Cape must have earned very good to excellent reviews from at least one of the top judging panels for at least three vintages during the 10-year period under review.
The critics include experts appointed for the Decanter World Wine Awards (UK), the International Wine Challenge (UK) and IWSC (UK), Platter’s SA Wine Guide (5 Stars and Highly Recommended), the Six Nations Wine Challenge (AU), the Trophy Wine Show (SA), the Veritas Awards (SA) and the Michelangelo Awards (SA).
“To be acknowledged by this esteemed panel for your hard work and dedication is without a doubt a humbling experience,” says co-owner Boets Nel, upon receiving this latest recognition.
