About this Item
Since producing its first 'port' in 1977, De Krans has been recognised for the consistent exceptional quality of its port-style wines, its portfolio now ranging from the traditional Cape Ruby, Cape Vintage and Cape Tawny to an Original Cape Pink and Original Espresso.
The 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.
