De Krans Wine Cellar is situated along the upper reaches of the picturesque Gamka River Valley near Calitzdorp. The history of the farm dates back to 1890, when it was bought by the Nel family. Since 1985, most of the classic Portuguese Port and wine varieties have been planted. The present owners and cellar master are brothers Boets (who qualified as a Cape Wine Mater in 1997) and Stroebel Nel - the viticulturist.

De Krans Pink Port

De Krans is the first South African producer to launch a Pink Port to be enjoyed all year round. De Krans Pink Port is made from traditional port varieties Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barocca & Souzăo.

The lovely blush colour was acquired by allowing only a few hours skin contact and the juice then cool fermented for approximately 5 days before fortification with unmatured brandy spirit. The result is a port with a lovely vibrant blush colour, rich ripe flavours of fresh red berries and a long, lingering aftertaste.

This new style of port is aimed at all port lovers that will enjoy the wonderful freshness and flavour spectrum of this wine all year round.

Serving suggestions: Enjoy well-chilled or on crushed ice in summer, as an aperitif with nuts and olives. In the cooler months of the year, this port can also be served at room temperature with olives, nuts or any pâté of your choice.

  
Wine Tourism: Wine tasting; vineyard trail; “Pick your own Hanepoot” during  mid Feb - mid March . Lunches served during this period on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
