Krone The Phoenix NV

This Cap Classique shows elegance and complexity. The nose offers the scent of yellow blossoms, ripe peach and classic biscuit notes. The palate shows fresh apples and lemon cream flavour whilst the mousse is fine yet persistent. The finish has an underlying zesty freshness and a satisfying creaminess which stems from extended lees contact.

Enjoy with mushroom risotto, crayfish with orange butter, duck breast and scrambled eggs.

Krone Méthode Cap Classique is created on the historical Twee Jonge Gezellen farm in Tulbagh. Our grapes are night harvested in the beautiful Tulbagh valley, flanked by rugged mountains. Our vineyards reach up the east-facing slopes of the Saron Peak, while our underground cellar lies at the foot of the mountains. We pride ourselves on combining traditional techniques and innovative practices to ensure that we produce the finest sparkling and still wines using Chardonnay and Pinot grapes.

in the cellar : This special release is an assemblage of the best of three vintages (2004, 2005, 2006) and produced in unique bottles imported from France. A multi-vintage wine or Cap Classique is a purposeful blending of cuvees from different years to achieve a superior house style. The maturation for a number of years on the lees further enhances the complexity of the wine.
