About this Item

De Krans
1995 Vintage Reserve
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

Situated in the Klein Karoo in the town of Calitzdorp, De Krans is perched along the upper reaches of the picturesque Gamka River Valley. Chris Nel built the cellar in 1964 and his sons, brothers Boets and Stroebel Nel, have taken over and still specialise in top-class fortified dessert wines, created using classic port varieties that are ‘declared’ only in outstanding vintages.

The 1995 De Krans Vintage Reserve has excellent aging potential. Well-stored bottles can continue to evolve and develop additional complexity for several decades, making it a wine suitable for long-term cellaring.

Critics Ratings

‘Established in the top handful of fine Cape ports, made only from best vintages. ‘95 still 100% Tinta Barocca from 20-year-old vines, dense plum and purple rim; wafts of spicy chocolate, fennel, warm stewed fruits. 19% alcohol already integrated with firm tannins, making for drinkability, with promise of best to come.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 1998, Superior Cape Wine
