Product information "De Krans Tritonia White 2018"
This vineyard Malvasia Rei or Palomino was planted in 1947. A forgotten heritage is now a very special wine, the De Krans Tritonia White charms with special nuances of orange blossom, honeysuckle, straw and a touch of vanilla. The palate is soft and elegant with dried orange peel, nuts and soft oak, an integrated acidity and fine tannins. A triumph!

The Verdelho juice was fermented in barrel and left on the lees for four months. The hand picked Malvasia Rei (Palomino) berries were crushed and left on the skins in a lagar (stone trough) where de natural fermentation began.The free run juice was extracted from the lagar and then cool fermented in stainless steel tanks. After four months on the fine lees, the wine was aged in barrel for a further 11 months.
