2020 Krone Amphora Blanc de Blancs
£36.00
“Given a revised score after another year on cork, this is a daring, challenging, bone-dry Chardonnay from the celebrated Elandskloof vineyard that completed its first fermentation and malolactic in amphoras. Savoury, bready and austere with a chiselled, mouth-watering core.”

Product Description
The making of vintage-only Krone Cap Classique is directed by nature: from soil to vine to bottle. Our winemaking team channels the rain, the sun, the wind into structure, complexity and balance—and seals it all with a cork. The site-specific rocky soils of Tulbagh are like nowhere else in the Cape Winelands.
Family-owned, the Rands family purchased the farm in 2012. Brother and sister, Svend and Abigail are involved intimately in all aspects of the estate, from vineyard plantings to marketing. Cellarmaster Rudiger Gretschel leads the winemaking division, a renowned Cape winemaker he pours his considerable knowledge into both the viticulture as well as the vinification, working seamlessly alongside Cap Classique specialist and head winemaker Stephan de Beer.
