While “Brut” is the dry standard, “Demi-Sec” (meaning half-dry) allows the winemakers to express a richer, more generous side of the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. By night-harvesting, Krone ensures the base wine has enough natural acidity to balance the higher dosage (sweetness). This ensures the wine feels “nectar-like” and silky on the tongue without ever becoming heavy or overly sugary.<\/p>\n
