A Full, well-balanced wine with complex flavours of black currents, dried prunes, cherry cigar and violets, with a lingering aftertaste of dark chocolate and a smooth tannin. Calitzdorp is well known for quality wines and ports made from Portuguese varietals. De Krans planted its first Touriga Nacional vineyard in 1994 and made the first single varietal wine in South Africa in 2000. The continental climate of Calitzdorp is like the dry hot climate of the Douro valley in Portugal where these vines originates from. Planted in shallow Karoo clay soils with east-west facing rows and micro irrigation these vines thrive under the hot dry Karoo sun to produce berries of world class quality.
Vintage: 2021

Food Match: Unusual red varietal which lends itself to great food pairings. Goes well with venison and ostrich steaks, roasted lamb shank and springbok Carpaccio.

Was referred to Rainbow Nations Wine from a friend. Glad they did! Great and informative selection. Even though I ordered close to Christmas the delivery was exceptional. Would recommend and refer.

Amazing selection of wines. I have ordered from them twice now and the wine arrived before the estimated delivery day, and very well packaged. And I should mention the great pricing for premium wines.
