KRONE Nectar Demi Sec Freyðivín

Bright, alpine freshness, pine needles in the snow. Lifted aromatics of honeysuckle and apple blossom, the promise of spring. Then, a panoply of apples; Golden Delicious, baking, studded with cinnamon; a squeeze of fresh lime awakens the senses. The cooler growing conditions of the 2020 vintage give this usually plush Cap Classique, a teasing push and pull. Richly fruited and generous on the palate balanced by an electric lemony acidity. Textured and full of detail, there is an intriguing chalky-lime minerality, against which a flush of stone fruits burst, juicy bites of nectarine and peach, and a classic note of lemon drop opulence. Savoury salted caramel on the back palate is buoyed by a feather-light mousse, and drawn into a refreshing, poised finish.
