Krone Vintage Rose Cuvee Brut Western Cape 2009 86 Points



One of South Africa's favourite bottle fermented rose sparkling wine, 2009 boast a Western Cape wine of origin, versus previous vintage being Tulbagh wine of origin!

Pale bright, salmon hue, consistent with medium size perlage!
Clean, showing some mature note with delicate cherries, raspberries and hints of wild strawberries, stony, nutty, brush of neutral oak, good purity

Properly brut with fairly high dosage, full texture with medium plus acidity, savory profile, crisp, elegant and fresh, will gain complexity with further bottle ageing if one can wait, now until 2017
