Krone Vintage Rose Cuvee Brut 2016

A tribute to Pinot Noir, the Krone Rosé Cuvée Brut is a paradox of rich, berry fruit and refreshing, natural elegance. Each successful Krone vintage is an achievement; a mark of a moment, a time to be celebrated.

THE MAKING

The classic varieties of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are hand-picked in the cool of the night. Krone Rosé is bottle-fermented and prior to disgorging, the bottles are packed in wooden pupitres (turning racks) and the rémuage (turning of bottles) is done entirely by hand. Truly a hand-crafted wine which requires patience.

Salmon-pink. Elegant, floral bouquet with delicate pomegranate, cranberries and cut red apple aromas. On the palate find a melange of juicy berries such as mulberries, just fallen off the tree, complemented by the tartness of fresh raspberries. This fruity punch is underpinned by a subtle richness of a baking cherry tart. The mousse is fine and creamy leading to a smooth, bone-dry finish enhanced by lingering berry notes.
