De Krans6x Touriga Nacional 2023

About

De Krans Wine Cellar is situated along the upper reaches of the picturesque Gamka River Valley in Calitzdorp in the Klein Karoo. The rich and long history of the farm dates to 1890, when it was bought by the Nel family. The current cellar was built in 1964 by Chris Nel and his brother Danie. De Krans was the first in South Africa to produce a Touriga Nacional as a dry red wine.
