I had a bottle of Kranskop a few years ago and remember it being a pleasant enough experience. More recently I attended a wine dinner at a Robertson restaurant (during the Slow Festival) and was treated once again to a taste of Kranskop. Wine-maker Newald Marais has been in and around the industry for some time and after experiencing this dinner and also tasting a few of his other wines my ears perked up big time. There's some special wines coming out of this cellar.
At the recent Michaelangelo awards they got gold for their 2012 Chardonnay and silver for their 2012 Viognier. At the Terrior Wine Awards the 2012 Viognier and 2011 Noble Late Harvest bagged them 2 national awards and their Pinot Noir 2011 a regional award. The 2012 Viognier also achieved a bronze at the Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show. A great achievement!
The Noble Late Harvest is the one I've got my eye on - a sexy little number that is serious at the same time.
