The Magic of Night Harvesting
Krone is famous for harvesting their grapes in the cool of the night to preserve the delicate aromatics and vibrant acidity required for top-tier MCC. The “Borealis” (inspired by the North Star) signifies a guiding light in the South African wine industry. Because this is a Vintage Cuvée, it expresses the specific terroir and climate of its harvest year, making every release a unique discovery for the palate.
Tasting Profile & Sensory Experience
A refined, structured, and “terroir-driven” bubbly:
The Appearance: Pale gold with a brilliant clarity and a lively, energetic bead of bubbles.
The Nose: A sophisticated opening of white spring blossoms, green apple, and salted caramel, followed by the classic “Krone” signature of toasted hazelnuts and brioche.
The Palate: Elegant and weightless yet full of character. It features a fine, creamy mousse and layers of lemon curd and white peach, underpinned by a distinct flinty minerality.
The Finish: Bone-dry, long, and remarkably clean, with a lingering nutty complexity.
Why Stock a Case of 6?
