Krone Vintage Cuvée Brut Rosé 2021 on sale

Description

Aromatics of crushed pink quartz, chalk, rose talc, hibiscus in bloom. An explosion of cherry blossoms, the light curling through. Crushed strawberries underfoot, a tension like the edge of innocence. Waves of strawberry and cranberry freshness weave through the lifted palate along a seam of superfine bubbles; zest of blood orange and mandarin peel radiates toward the edges. The acidity is pure and structural, a hallmark of the high diurnal swings of the Tulbagh region and the cool 2021 vintage. A touch of earth, and creamy kiss of lees, before tapering into a liquid minerality and a dry, strawberry-hued finish. Krone Cuvée Brut Rosé delights in food that favours honest expression; from a simple picnic with slivers of charcuterie, crusty sourdough bread, ripe, melty Camembert. A tug-of-war between density and weightlessness, the structure lends itself to the refined too; salmon with crispy skin crackling and wild black rice to rolled porchetta, and duck with cherries.
