Krone Kaaimansgat Site Specific Blanc de Blancs 2018

Pale gold. Aromatics of smoky oyster shell, lime blossom and flowering scrub sketch in this Cap Classique’s isolated mountain home. Layers of citrus unfurl, radiant and immediate, the vivacity of crushed lemon, the pith and spritz of orange peel. Delicate yet coiled on the palate, the lacy texture is pulled taut by a defined, nervy acidity. Seamed along a flinty undertow pear, stone fruit and hazelnuts evolve. The intense flavours and linear nature are hallmarks of the long ripening period of the 2018 vintage.
