Description
A Tribute to Pinot Noir
While many rosés are made by adding a splash of red wine at the end, Krone crafts this Cuvée with a focus on the structural power of Pinot Noir. Harvested under the stars in the Tulbagh valley to maintain fruit purity, the juice undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle and is aged on its lees in cool, underground cellars. The result is a wine that balances the “viva” (liveliness) of the bubbles with a sophisticated, creamy texture.
Tasting Profile & Sensory Experience
A refined and multi-dimensional pink bubbly:
The Appearance: An exquisite pale salmon or “onion-skin” pink with an energetic, long-lasting mousse.
The Nose: Alluring aromas of wild strawberries, crushed pomegranate, and a delicate hint of rosehip and orange zest.
The Palate: Crisp and bone-dry. The palate is defined by its refreshing acidity and layers of red currants and cranberry, rounded off by a subtle biscuity complexity from the lees aging.
The Finish: Clean, mineral-driven, and incredibly long, with a lingering echo of tart red fruit.
Why Stock a Case of 6?
The Modern Classic: Krone Rosé is a staple at high-end South African events, making it a reliable choice for weddings, anniversaries, and luxury gifts.
Winter & Summer Versatility: The structural weight of the Pinot Noir makes this bubbly substantial enough for winter sipping while remaining refreshing for a Cape summer afternoon.
Gastronomic Excellence: This is an exceptionally food-friendly wine:
The Perfect Pairing: Seared duck breast with a berry reduction.
Seafood: Outstanding with grilled salmon, tuna sashimi, or crayfish.
Salty Delights: Pairs brilliantly with prosciutto, aged parmesan, or salty charcuterie platters.
