KREINBACHER Brut Prestige Magnum 2017
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Kreinbacher estate’s premier sparkling wine in a magnum bottle, made from 100% Furmint grapes and disgorged after more than three years of lees ageing.
An intense bouquet of lime blossom, white flowers and stone fruits on the nose, rounded out by toasted brioche notes. It’s explosively fresh and rich on the palate, as vibrant citrus fruit aromas meet with racy acidity and exceptionally smooth, pampering bubbles. A long finish ends with a flourish of grapefruit and a tantalising light salinity.
Food pairing
This dry sparkling wine is great to drink on its own when celebrating special moments. It goes well with caviar, smoked salmon and oysters.
Serve chilled at 8-11°C and consume at a temperature of 10-11°C
Expert Opinion
Caroline Gilby - Master of Wine - 97 points - Decanter Hungary 2022 Guide
A glowing golden wine with fine bubbles. It has an ethereal nose with notes of lemon blossom, quince, acacia honey and nicely integrated biscuity autolysis. To taste, it's incredibly vibrant with racy acidity, good fruit intensity and hints of lemon, quince and toasted brioche. The fine mousse is beautifully integrated and the finish is long and elegant.
