KREINBACHER Brut Classic

£28.50

Kreinbacher's multi-award-winning méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine, this Brut Classic Hungarian champagne is perfect to make any occasion special.

Attractive fragrance of green apples and citrus with yeasty and floral aromas on the nose. The palate has refreshing grapefruit, peach and pineapple flavours, followed by layers of nutty, biscuity notes and a hint of salt. A firm and persistent mousse, excellent structure and a long, honeyed finish complete this sparkling wine with real depth and character.

Food pairing

This dry sparkling wine is great to drink on its own, while it goes well with caviar, smoked salmon and oysters. Its creamy fruitiness also makes a delicious pairing for soft cheese and mascarpone.

Serve chilled at 8-11°C and consume at a temperature of 10-11°C

Expert Opinion

Caroline Gilby - Master of Wine - 94 points - Decanter April 2021

This is seriously classy, with bright acidity and fine, lingering bubbles. There’s great fruit intensity, with honey, pear and crisp apple overlaid with biscuit notes. Culminates in a long, refined finish.
