News & Informative articles De Krans skitter by 2015 Michelangelo wyn- en spiritus toekennings DE KRANS SKITTER BY 2015 MICHELANGELO WYN- EN SPIRITUS TOEKENNINGS De Krans Wynkelder in Calitzdorp, reeds sinoniem met puik gehalte port, vaar nou ook uitstekend met sy reeks natuurlike wyne. Die eerste oesjaar van De Krans se Méthode Cap Classique (MCC) het pas die IQ Business Trofee verower vir die Mees Innoverende Wyn by die 2015 Michelangelo Wyn Toekennings, waarvan die funksie op 18 September in Somerset Wes gehou is. Hierdie was egter nie die enigste prestasie nie. De Krans se Cape Vintage Reserve Port 2012 het ook n Dubbelgoue medalje verower en beide De Krans se Touriga Nacional 2014 en Tinta Roriz 2013 het Goue medaljes ontvang by hierdie kompetisie. Die Michelangelo Wyntoekennings is reeds in sy 19de jaar en is die enigste wynkompetisie in Suid-Afrika met n eksklusiewe internasionale paneel van beoordelaars wat bestaan uit wynmakers, wynmeesters, joernaliste en sommeliers. n Totaal van 1665 inskrywings is vanjaar ingeskryf deur 364 produsente in 48 verskillende klasse. Alhoewel De Krans se MCC in die tradisionele bottelgegiste manier berei word, is hierdie ook die eerste Méthode Cap Classique in Suid-Afrika wat berei is van Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc en Tinta Barocca! Laasgenoemde is natuurlik n Portugese druifsoort, wat ook in De Krans se bekende portwyne gebruik word oor vele dekades. Hierdie bottelgegiste vonkelwyn word berei in beperkte hoeveelhede deur De Krans. Wynmaker Louis van der Riet beskryf die wyn as n MCC met n ligte geel kleur vol energieke en tog elegante borrels. Dit het wondelike geure van pere, perskes, lemmetjie en groen appels en sekondêre geure van gis en beskuit. Dit is heerlik saam met sagte kase en patee. Hierdie vonkelwyn is slegs beskikbaar vanaf De Krans teen R140 per bottel. De Krans se 2012 Cape Vintage Reserve Port het n lewendige dieprooi kleur met intense aromas van pruimedante, speserye en tabak. Die smaak is sappig met gekonsentreerde vrug en n uitstekende tannien-balans. Hierdie port het reeds n hele rits toekennings ontvang soos n Platter 5-ster toekenning in die gesaghebbende 2015 Platters Wyngids (reeds die 10de 5-ster port van De Krans agtereenvolgens), n Top 100 SA Wyn toekenning en die Tony Mossop Trofee vir die Beste Port in SA by die 2015 Old Mutual Trophy Wynskou. Dit is ook in 2012 aangewys as die SA Kampioen Port by die SA Jongwynskou. Hierdie besonderse port is landwyd beskikbaar teen ongeveer R275 per bottel. De Krans se 2014 Touriga Nacional (beskikbaar by geselekteerde drankwinkels teen ongeveer R85 per bottel) en 2013 Tinta Roriz (slegs beskikbaar direk vanaf De Krans teen R60 per bottel) het beide ook CAPPA Top 10 toekennings ontvang vanjaar n duidelike bewys dat hierdie unieke Portugese kultivars floreer in Calitzdorp. 2
Boplaas Family Vineyards done very well at the Michelangelo Wine Awards 2015 Tel: +27(0)44 2133326 Fax: +27(0)44 2133750 Saaymanstreet, PO Box 156 Calitzdorp, 6660 Carel & Jeanne Nel at the Awards function Email: boplaas@mweb.co.za Web: www.boplaas.co.za Boplaas Cape Portuguese red table wines and Cape Ports shine at Michelangelo s Boplaas Family Vineyards, producer of the benchmark Cape Port and table wines from Portuguese varieties, from the Klein Karoo in Calitzdorp, has once again proven its dominance in these category at this year's prestigious Michelangelo International Wine Awards. More than 300 wine cellars entered 1655 wines in different classes in this challenge to be judged by a panel of renowned international wine critics. Boplaas was the proud recipient of one double gold and four gold medals. The double gold was awarded for the Boplaas Cape Tawny Vintners Reserve NV. The Boplaas Touriga Nacional Family Reserve 2012; the Boplaas Cape Vintage 2013; the Cape Vintage - The Chocolate Port 2011 and the Boplaas Cape Vintage Reserve 2012 were honoured with gold medals. These results follow on the previous year's achievements, namely the three double gold medals that were awarded in 2014 for their Boplaas Gamka Reserve (red blend); Boplaas Bobbejaanberg Sauvignon Blanc 2014 and Boplaas Cape Vintage Reserve 2011. Boplaas wines also performed exceptionally well at other wine shows this year, walking away with the coveted title of SA Champion Port at the SAYWS (SA Young Wine Show), as well as being awarded the title of Best Port in SA at the CAPPA Challenge 2015. A true testament to their patience and craftsmanship, the Boplaas Reserve Cape Tawny N/V is a blend of only the finest Cape Tawny crafted from Tinta Barocca and Touriga Nacional, matured in old 500l port 'pipes' (from the Portuguese word for barrel, pipa) for twelve to fourteen years prior to blending. This lusciously complex fortified with its amber colour, heady aromatics and nutty flavour profile offers those lucky enough to broach a bottle or two the opportunity to taste a rare fine example of Boplaas Cape Tawny. Regarded by many in Portugal as that country's premier grape varietal and mainstay of many fine Ports over the years, Touriga Nacional is a passion at Boplaas. This hardy, yet shy bearing vine allows for the crafting of exceptionally aromatically expressive and age-worthy wines. A mere 2500 bottles of the Boplaas Touriga Nacional Family Reserve 2012 were hand crafted from a combination of fruit originating from vines in Stellenbosch, Wellington and Calitzdorp. Apart from its inclusion in South Africa's 2015 TOP 100 wines, it also won one of only three gold medals at the CAPPA Challenge 2014 for table wines, and also took its place in the CAPPA TOP 10. Crafted from a trio of Portuguese varieties ( Tinta Barocca, Touriga Nacional and Souzao) according to traditional techniques, the Boplaas Cape Vintage 2013 will offer exceptional drinking pleasure over the coming decades if well cellared. Ripe black plum, sweet spice, firm tannins and unmistakable hints of coco nib and dark chocolate that is what old vine Tinta Barocca consistently delivers. This unique varietal was the creative spark behind the development of another Boplaas winner, the Cape Vintage The Chocolate Port an utterly enjoyable Boplaas fortified. The Boplaas Cape Vintage Reserve 2012 was crafted from a quartet of hand harvested old vine Portuguese varieties. Traditional vinification techniques were utilised, including extensive manual pigeage in open top lagares and ageing in old large-format oak barrels, prior to bottling unfined and unfiltered. This benchmark Cape Vintage Reserve was crafted in miniscule volumes from the finest fruit of the vintage and is destined for decades of enjoyment if carefully cellared. Best enjoyed decanted in its youth accompanied by hearty rustic country fare such as springbok pie, waterblommetjiebredie, braised beef short-rib or slow roast leg of Karoo lamb or as a failsafe with decadent dark chocolate, aged hard cheese, preserved fruits or charcuterie. These award-winning wines are available from the Boplaas cellar door in Calitzdorp and at Boplaas' tasting room in Klein Brak along the Garden Route, as well as from discerning fine wine retailers nationally. Calitzdorp Cellar door: OPEN Monday Friday, 09:00 17:00; Saturday 09:00 15:00 & Sundays 10:00 14:00 Boplaas Family Vineyards, Calitzdorp Tending vines & Crafting wines, since 1880 Boplaas skitter by Michelangelo Boplaas Familie Wingerde in Calitzdorp het uitstekend gevaar by vanjaar se Michelangelo International Awards. Meer as 300 wynkelders het meer as 1700 wyne ingeskryf en dit is deur n paneel van internasionale wynkenners beoordeel. Boplaas het een dubbelgoud en vier goue medaljes verower. Die dubbelgoud is vir die Boplaas Cape Tawny Reserve en die goue medaljes vir die Boplaas Touriga Nacional Reserve 2012; die Boplaas Cape Vintage 2013; die Cape Vintage The Chocolate Port 2011 en die Boplaas Cape Vintage Reserve 2012. Die uitslae is weereens n bewys dat Boplaas 'n markleier is as dit kom by Cape Port en tafelwyne gemaak van Portuguese kultivars. Die uitslae vanjaar sluit aan by die drie dubbelgoues van 2014 vir die Boplaas Gamka Reserve (rooi versnit); die Boplaas Bobbejaanberg Sauvignon Blanc 2014 en die Boplaas Cape Vintage Reserve 2011. Boplaas het vanjaar reeds uitstekend gevaar en is aangewys as die SA Kampioen Port by die SAJWS (SA Jongwynskou) asook beste Port in SA by die CAPPA Challenge.

One hundred years of successful hard work, with so many schools around them closing down, one after the other. In 1918 there were outlying schools in Groenfontein, Buffelskloof, Buffeljagsfontein, Gamka-Oos, Gamka-Wes, Huisrivier, Janfourieskraal, Kruisrivier-Wes, Uitvlug, Warmbad en Warmwater. Sadly over the years most of the little schools have closed down. And today how many remain? Calitzdorp take note so much is lost to history. Congratulations Gamka-Oos for achieving this amazing milestone. A great, proud achievement! May the community supports your celebrations! Proud Calitzdorp Resident 6
