Krone is famous for harvesting their grapes in the cool of the night to preserve the delicate aromatics and vibrant acidity required for top-tier MCC. The “Borealis” (inspired by the North Star) signifies a guiding light in the South African wine industry. Because this is a Vintage Cuv\u00e9e<\/b>, it expresses the specific terroir and climate of its harvest year, making every release a unique discovery for the palate.<\/p>\nTasting Profile & Sensory Experience<\/b><\/h3>\n
