We started harvesting on 18 January and ended on the 9 February. It was a seamless process of bringing in the night-harvested grapes as healthy whole-bunches into the cellar, where the fruit was gently whole-bunch pressed.

Krone Borealis Cuvée Brut is bottle-fermented and then matures on the lees for 18 months.

Judges Selection [GFW23]

2023 Global Fine Wine Challenge

87 | Lots of aldehyde, sherry-like, palate rather lean and hollow. Dry, lacks charm.

95 | Lovely precise ripe fruit aromas + quite noticeable biscuity autolysis characters. A bigger framed, more vinous style.

88 | Deep golden hue. Golden delicious apple. A touch of sugar syrup and a hint of hay. The palate is full, soft and gently fruity though it lacks a little energy. Low effervescence.

90 | nutty OX oatmeal, good balance, bright acidity, white spiced tea, good weight and complexity, spicy finish, it starts to grow on me and it does bring me back for a second sip.
