Krone Twee Jonge Gezellen Rosé 2023 750ml is a premium vintage Cap Classique crafted at the historic Twee Jonge Gezellen Estate in Tulbagh using the traditional Méthode Cap Classique. Produced from a blend of predominantly Pinot Noir with Chardonnay, the grapes are hand-harvested during the cool of the night to preserve freshness and aromatic purity before gentle whole-bunch pressing. The wine undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle and is matured on its lees for 24 months in Krone’s renowned underground cellar, developing exceptional complexity, a fine creamy mousse, and remarkable elegance. Vintage-only by philosophy, the 2023 release beautifully reflects the character of the harvest while showcasing the estate’s centuries-old sparkling wine expertise.

The nose opens with fragrant aromas of pomegranate, red apple, grapefruit, and fresh red berries, complemented by delicate blossom and subtle autolytic notes of toasted brioche. On the palate, vibrant flavours of raspberry, cherry, plum, and forest berries are balanced by crisp acidity and a pillowy, finely textured mousse that carries the wine effortlessly to a long, savoury finish. As it matures, richer biscuity nuances continue to evolve, adding further depth and complexity. Krone Twee Jonge Gezellen Rosé 2023 pairs beautifully with oysters, sushi, smoked salmon, fresh shellfish, charcuterie, soft cheeses, and elegant aperitif occasions.
