KREINBACHER Prestige Brut

£32.00

Prestige Brut is one of the best traditional-method Hungarian dry champagnes and the flagship sparkling wine of the multi-award-winning Kreinbacher Estate. A cosmopolitan blend, the Furmint grape gives the wine a mineral and crisp character, while Chardonnay provides its elegance.

A lovely bouquet of lime, flowers and stone fruits with a tantalising brioche aroma adding extra layers of complexity. Vibrant citrus fruits on the palate with rich notes of ageing on the lees. Subtle bubbles allow the minerality of the furmint grapes to shine, while the gentle mousse provides a long aftertaste of grapefruit and a touch of salinity. With a perfectly balanced structure and refined details, this is not just an exceptional vintage for special occasions but the drink of choice for those who seek the best at all times.

Food pairing

This dry sparkling wine is excellent on its own when celebrating special moments. It goes well with caviar, smoked salmon and seafood, while its creamy fruitiness makes a delicious pairing for soft cheese and mascarpone, as well as crêpes and strawberry sponge cakes.

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