Krone6x Borealis Cuvée Brut 2020

About

The making of vintage-only Krone Cap Classique is directed by nature: from soil to vine to bottle. Our winemaking team channels the rain, the sun, the wind into structure, complexity and balance—and seals it all with a cork. The site-specific rocky soils of Tulbagh are like nowhere else in the Cape Winelands. 

Product Features

• Awards: Gold Michelangelo, 4 Star Platter, 90 Points Tim Atkin, Gold Gilbert & Gaillard, Silver Amorim Cork Cap Classique Challenge.
• Only the free-run juice is used for this Cap Classique: ± the first 500 litres per ton. 
• Krone Borealis is bottle-fermented and then matured on the lees for 18 months in the underground cellar.
• The scent of ice, cool and mineral on opening.
• The characteristic oyster shell of the Borealis is there, flinty and intense, alongside powdery white flowers, white peach and crisp green apples. 
• The cooler growing conditions of this vintage resolves with a tight, energetic palate; the fruit is fresh and clean against a chalky texture.
• Peach and melon grow and evolve into glacé pineapple and a whip of lemon curd. 
• Extended lees time and a lower level of tirage deliver autolytic biscuity intensity and a fine, persistent bubble, to a long, radiant finish.
• Enjoy with steamed mussels.
