Summer in a glass<br />
High up above the picturesque Gamka River Valley<br />
near Calitzdorp, you’ll find the De Krans Wine Cellar ...<br />
a farm with history dating way back to 1890. With the<br />
first grapes being planted mainly for the production of<br />
raisins and some sweet wine, De Krans quickly became<br />
well-known for quality ports and Muscat sweet wines,<br />
as well as dry table wines. The vineyards lie between<br />
the peaks of the impressive Outeniqua Mountains,<br />
planted in rocky granite soils on four wire Perold<br />
trellis more than 600m above sea level. And the wines<br />
are among some of our favourites. This month we’re<br />
drinking the wonderful Garden Route Sauvignon<br />
Blanc 2019. This wine, with its clear, crisp translucent<br />
colour, has a lovely bouquet of beautiful fresh green<br />
pepper, cut grass and fynbos, with a little passion fruit<br />
and guava fruit salad. You’ll taste fresh tropical fruits<br />
and cut grass and a hint of green pepper. It’s really<br />
excellent with something like fresh cob or stumpnose,<br />
served with a lime dressing, but also works well with<br />
any pâté or salads ... so perfect for these long warm<br />
summer days. R75 from dekrans.co.za. We’ve got a case<br />
to give away ... to stand in line to win, simply like our<br />
