de Krans, Premium Moscato Perle, Western Cape 2025

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested early in the morning to ensure cool temperatures. After the grapes are destemmed and crushed, and pumped into a separating tank

where the juice and skins are separated. The juice flows by gravity into a settling tank and is settled out overnight. Clear juice is racked into fermentation tanks

the next morning, and fermentation is started by adding selected yeast. The juice is fermented at 14 °C until dry, whereafter Muscadel juice is added to sweeten and CO2 for Perlé just before bottling.

Winemaker’s comments

Colour: Beautiful sunny yellow colour with fine, fizzy bubbles.
Bouquet: Fresh tropical fruit flavours of litchi and apricot enhanced by a hint of muscat.
Taste: Alluring freshness of tropical fruit, muscat and honey amplified with a fuzzy taste and exotic spice.
Food pairing - Great on its own or served with fresh summer salads, charcuterie or light meals.
Also makes for an interesting pairing with mild curries.
Alcohol: 9.00%
