The House of Krone, located at Twee Jonge Gezellen Estate (TJ) in
the
picturesque town of Tulbagh,
has become synonymous with the production of benchmark Méthode Cap Classiques.
Here, generations of the Krone family have mastered the fine art of blending the traditional Champagne
varieties, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
To celebrate the forthcoming festive season, The
House of Krone is presenting its popular Krone Borealis Cuvée Brut 2010 and
Krone Rosé Cuvée Brut 2010 in exquisite embossed boxes. Retailing nationally between
R100 and R110, these delicious and beautifully showcased Cap Classiques will
make for glamorous cork-popping and dazzling gifts.
The House of Krone’s
tradition is to use only the free-run juice which is of the highest quality and
has optimum aroma and flavour. The wines then mature on the lees for
three years in underground cellars after which, prior to dégorging, the
bottles are packed in wooden pupitres (turning racks) and the rémuage
(turning of the bottles) is done entirely by hand. The Krone Borealis and the
Rosé Cuvée Brut are microbiologically stable, the true celebration of the
vintner's art.

a fresh apple and classic biscuity bouquet with hints of jasmine, the bubbles
