De Krans A Twist of Fate 2024 750ml is a premium South African red blend produced in Calitzdorp from the Portuguese grape varieties Tinta Barocca and Tinta Amarela. Inspired by the unexpected arrival of these cultivars in the Klein Karoo, this distinctive wine celebrates the “twist of fate” that helped shape De Krans’ reputation for exceptional Portuguese-style wines. The grapes are harvested together, naturally fermented, and cool fermented in stainless steel before undergoing malolactic fermentation with oak staves. The 2024 vintage delivers vibrant fruit, smooth tannins, and an approachable, easy-drinking style that perfectly reflects the unique terroir of Calitzdorp.

The nose reveals inviting aromas of sweet strawberries, ripe red cherries, and juicy red berries, beautifully complemented by hints of spice, leather, earthiness, and subtle oak. On the palate, vibrant red berry flavours unfold alongside delicate spice, supported by smooth tannins and well-integrated acidity that create a soft, balanced mouthfeel. The finish is long, fresh, and satisfying with lingering notes of ripe fruit and gentle spice. De Krans A Twist of Fate 2024 is the perfect braai wine and pairs beautifully with grilled meats, burgers, charcuterie, wood-fired pizza, roasted vegetables, and hearty pasta dishes. It is equally enjoyable served slightly chilled for warm summer evenings.
