Krone Night Nectar Rosé Vintage Demi-Sec (Case of 6) | Semi-Sweet Pink MCC

Description

The Magic of the Night Harvest

True to the Krone tradition, the grapes for this Rosé are harvested under the stars to ensure they reach the cellar cool and bursting with fresh aromatics. As a Vintage Demi-Sec, this wine isn’t just about sweetness; it’s about capturing the specific character of a single year’s harvest. The Pinot Noir provides the beautiful color and the “weight” on the palate, while the Chardonnay adds a citrus lift to keep the wine balanced and refreshing.

Tasting Profile & Sensory Experience

A rich, aromatic, and textured sparkling wine:

• The Appearance: A mesmerizing deep salmon pink with a persistent, lively mousse of fine bubbles.

• The Nose: An expressive bouquet of sun-ripened strawberries, raspberries, and a touch of spiced red cherry, underscored by delicate floral notes of rose and hibiscus.

• The Palate: Silky and indulgent. The sweetness is perfectly integrated, amplifying flavors of red berry compote and whipped cream, while a fine acidity provides a clean, elegant structure.

• The Finish: A long, succulent finish that leaves a lingering impression of berries and honey.

Why Stock a Case of 6?

• The Ultimate Gift: This is arguably one of the most “giftable” bottles in South Africa. It’s a top pick for Father’s Day (for the Dad who likes a softer palate), Mother’s Day, and milestone birthdays.

• Winter Indulgence: The richer, sweeter profile of the Night Nectar Rosé makes it an excellent choice for June and July, where it feels more substantial than a bone-dry Brut.

• Versatile Food Pairing: The “Sweet & Fruity” profile makes it a star with:

  • Spicy Entrées: Excellent with spicy sushi rolls, Buffalo wings, or aromatic Cape Malay curries.

  • The Dessert Table: A dream pairing for strawberry cheesecake, red velvet cake, or chocolate-dipped fruit.

  • The Braai: Surprisingly good with glazed pork ribs or spicy grilled chicken.
