Krone Rosé Cuvee Brut
Méthode Cap Classique
Western Cape
2016
A tribute to Pinot Noir, the Krone Rosé Cuvee Brut is a paradox of rich, berry fruit and refreshing, natural elegance. Each successful Krone vintage is an achievement; a mark of a moment, a time to be celebrated.
The classic varieties of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are hand-picked in the cool of the night. Krone Rose is bottle-fermented and prior to disgorging, the bottles are packed in wooden pupitres (turning racks) and the remuage (turning of bottles) is done entirely by hand. Truly a hand-crafted wine which requires patience.
Tasting notes: salmon pink, elegant, floral bouquet with delicate pomegranate and cut red apple. Fine, creamy mousse with a punch of juicy, rich berries, smooth bone dry finish enhanced by lingering berry notes.
Food pairing suggestions: charred squid with tamarind and pineapple salsa, creamy prawns and avo cocktail with spiced lime wedges, salmon with crispy skin crackling and wild rice, seared tuna, charcuterie board featuring Parma ham and prosciutto.
