Amorim Adds Elegance to New Interior Space at The House of Krone

One of the Cape’s classic wine farms has donned a new aesthetic look. Besides supplying the corks for Krone’s fine range of Cap Classique and other wines, Amorim was involved in delivering the cork material for this elegant Tulbagh wine estate’s hospitality centre.

It takes over 365 days to craft a bottle of Krone Méthode Cap Classique. Each bell-shaped glass vessel nestles carefully upon the other in subterranean cellar racks, waiting, with seemingly infinite patience, for golden bubbles to rise slowly from within…

It is no coincidence that the considered production journey behind one of South Africa’s premier MCC brands has been faithfully echoed in the attention paid to the revitalisation of its home estate, the historic Twee Jonge Gezellen farm in Tulbagh. A treasured national monument, the farm is rooted in the year 1710, and in a rousing tale of two hearty bachelor boys who had links to the erstwhile governor of the Cape colony, Willem van der Stel. The ongoing refurbishment project has already spanned two years, with wise choices and sensitive implementation as its hallmark.
