De Krans Wines, situated in Calitzdorp, has long been synonymous with the port-style wine industry in South Africa and is well-known for their range of award-winning port-style wines, specifically their flagship, the De Krans Cape Vintage Reserve.

This ensured excellent quality Moscato wines on the shelves in South Africa and abroad. This used to be the rules for labelling the wine as a Moscato in South Africa until very recently. The new disputed rule for a South African Moscato now only requires the wine to “have a discernible muscat character,” with
