De Krans Reserve Muscat 2010

Golden-green colour, with good muscat and citrus flavours, as well as some lychees and herbs. Excellent balance on the taste - definitely not too sweet or cloying. Lovely lingering aftertaste.

This wine, although well-priced, is aimed at the premium segment of the market. Approximately 60% is exported to countries such as USA, UK, Holland, Denmark, Germany and Sweden. These wines are mainly consumed in hotels and restaurants, as well as sold in specialist wine shops.

about the harvest: Picked from 20 year old vines, with relative low yields (less than 10tons/ha) at 25° Balling. Pick before too many raisins - want intense muscat flavours, but as little raisins as possible.
