The history of the farm dates back to 1890, when it was bought by the Nel family. The present owners and cellarmasters are brothers Boets (who qualified as a Cape Wine Master in 1997) and Stroebel Nel. Christoff de Wet was appointed as winemaker in October 2019.
De Krans Wines has won various medals and awards since 1980 and was crowned Champion Private Wine Cellar in the Klein Karoo region numerous times. De Krans Wines is traditionally known for its award-winning port-style wines, with their flagship Cape Vintage Reserve receiving 5 stars in the Platter Wine Guide a record 14 times. De Krans Wines is also known for their innovation and produces very interesting wines from unusual grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca and Verdelho. In addition, De Krans Wines produces an impressive range of excellent value wines from classic grape varieties. In 2012, De Krans Wines extended their range when they first produced the now popular Premium White Moscato Perlé, followed by the Premium Red Moscato Perlé in 2017. The latest edition to this range, the Premium Rosé Moscato was just released in March 2021. The Alcohol-Free Muscat Nectar Sparkling was also released in March 2020.
De Krans Wines is a family friendly destination on the popular Route 62. Visit the tasting room where our entire range is available for tasting or stock up on some local products from our De Krans Deli. Enjoy the hospitality of our De Krans Bistro where you have the choice to sit outside under the vines. You can also enjoy a vineyard walk, play some outside chess or relax while your children enjoy the play gym. Be sure to visit us for our traditional fruit picking at De Krans in February (Hanepoot) and November (Apricots) – a fun-filled activity not to be missed.
