Krone Borealis Vintage Cuvée Brut Sparkling 2016 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 90/100

A toasty South African sparkling wine at an exceptional price. The Twee Jonge Gezellen is a robust blend of 90% Chardonnay, 9% Pinot Noir and 1% Pinot Blanc grapes. Aromas of freshly baked bread, golden apple and toasted almond. The vines are planted in chalky limestone soils. Legend says that the god of wine Bacchus fell in love with Ariadne, the daughter of the King of Crete. To prove his love, he threw her a golden crown and a circlet of gems into the sky that became a shrine to her in the form of the constellation of stars called the Corona Borealis, which means crown as does the name of this wine Krone. This uses the Methode Cap Classique. Pair with roast chicken.

Sparkling food pairings: smoked salmon and tuna, sushi, sashimi, roast chicken.
