The wine has a deep plum colour, with dense aromas of chocolate, spice, pepper, a touch of vanilla and prunes. It has a fleshy, chewy mouthful of flavours. The firm tannin structure, together with the concentrated fruit, ensures excellent maturation potential. This wine, which is the flagship dry red wine from De Krans, is bottled in an elegant bottle, with the label screen-printed directly on the bottle.
Boets and Stroebel Nel of De Krans Wine Cellar in Calitzdorp, released the first single-variety Touriga Naional dry red wine in South Africa in 2000. This 2003 vintage is the fourth wine from this variety from De Krans.
