Krone
The 300-year-old Twee Jonge Gezellen Estate in Tulbagh is the historic home of Krone, a collection of Vintage-Only, terroir-driven Cap Classiques. Twee Jonge Gezellen is tucked into the northwest corner of the Tulbagh wine region, home to the fourth oldest town in South Africa, dating back to the early 1700s. Originally, it was one of 14 farms established after 1700 when the then governor of the Cape, Willem van der Stel, motivated for an expansion beyond Cape Town into the Winterberg, Witzenberg and Roodezand area. Twee Jonge Gezellen estate became wine-producing in the 20th century and, in a continuation of the founding pioneer spirit, invented cold fermentation in the 1950s, among other firsts. A devastating earthquake rocked the region in 1969, effectively delaying the introduction of Krone Cap Classique by 20 years. The first Krone Borealis vintage (1987) was released in 1991 to much acclaim; and a new generation of Cap Classique was born.
Description
The Krone Night Nectar Demi-Sec 2022 offers plush and complex flavors with aromatics of jasmine, honeycomb, quince, melon, and tarte tatin. On the palate, you’ll find baking apples, cinnamon, dessert peaches, glacé pineapple, crème anglaise, and brioche with a velvety mousse and bright acidity, leading to a refreshing finish.
Food Pairing
This demi-sec pairs wonderfully with pâtisserie, cheesecakes, fruit tarts, or any dessert with a touch of sweetness. It can also be enjoyed alongside rich, creamy dishes like pork belly or spicy Asian cuisine.
