半蔵門のオフィスでお花見の集い♪
私の持ち込み1本目は、2月の南アで訪問したクローヌのアンフォラブランドブラン
写真はすべてワイナリーで撮影したもの
普段南アワインを召し上がらない方々の集まりなのでシャンパーニュにしようかとも思いましたが、南アに行ってきたお土産の意味も含めてこちらにしました
結果、大好評⁽⁽ଘ( ˊᵕˋ )ଓ⁾⁾
ふくらみのあるボディですがキリッとした骨格もあり、泡はきめ細かくクリーミー
もっと寝かせてから飲むのもよさそうです

Fragrant with citrus luminosity; radiant lemon and green apple freshness. The distinctive wild sage note from the Kaaimansgat vineyard sings. The palate is a study in liquid minerality, knife-cut with lemony acidity and a chalky texture from amphora fermentation. The mousse is long, and fine, unwinding to a resonant finish, tapering to pristine dryness with roasted nuts in the echo.
Alcohol: 12.27% by vol
VINTAGE-ONLY CREATION
Produced in small batches and made in a natural style: no enzymes or sulphur are added. Spontaneous ferment in amphora for six months, this Blanc de Blancs is zero-dosage and bottled unfiltered on the lees. With 24 months of maturation in our underground cellar, this pure expression of chardonnay embodies the spirit of Krone and will develop further in the bottle as it ages.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
The growing season was characterised by a long, wet and cold winter with plenty of snowfall, ramping up restorative cold units while preserving vine dormancy. The cold temperatures lasted well into spring. This extended icy climate delayed vine budding between 7 to 14 days, which aided in uniform bud break. After veraison in early January we knew that harvest would start later than usual. The chardonnay for the Amphora 2022 was
harvested from Kaaimansgat vineyards growing at 700m altitude in the Elandskloof ward. “The ripening in this mountainous valley is very slow,”
commented head winemaker Stephan de Beer.
“The block delivers beautiful malic acids with low pH levels. We harvested it on 11 March 2022.”
Due to the high diurnal conditions of the mountain slopes, the nights were cold in the growing season resulting in fine, stable acids. The cool temperatures locking in the freshness after the warmth of the day.
