Krone Borealis - THE LEGEND & THE NAME: Legend records that Bacchus, God of Wine in Greek mythology, fell in love with Ariadne, daughter of the King of Crete. In order to uplift her spirits & to prove his love to her, he threw his golden crown, a circlet of gems, into the ‘heavens’ where it remained to shine forever as the dainty constellation of stars called CORONA BOREALIS. Corona means crown, as does Krone - hence . . . KRONE BOREALIS. . . a little poetic licence used to describe this Methode Cap Classique Sparkling Wine being full of ‘stars’, made from grapes harvested at night under the stars and nurtured by The House of Krone, Twee Jonge Gezellen Estate, Tulbagh, South Africa

| Situated 125 kilometers from Cape Town, Tulbagh has become a ’secret find’ for the avant-garde. Our farm Twee Jonge Gezellen is in the North-West corner of this intriguing valley, with the vineyards reaching up to the east-facing slopes of the Saron Peak Mountain while the cellar nestles at the foot of the mountain. The mountain is often referred to as ”the rainmaker” due to the rain shadow effect that affords the farm a really generous rainfall factor. From spring to mid-summer, when the Cape is tested by the relentless South Easter wind, the mountain again protects the farm. This wind lifts up and over the peak, and whilst acting as an air conditioner for the vineyards, it leaves a quiet haven below where not a leaf moves on the oak trees surrounding the cellar - the perfect venue to visit when the rest of Cape Town is windswept. |
