Prestige Extra Brut, by Penine Istenič
Regular price
£40.00
This wonderful Champagne-style sparkling wine from Slovenia has got everything going for it - freshness, rich flavours, a creamy texture, and tons of complexity.
The style is classical, with several years bottle ageing developing flavours of biscuit and brioche. The traditional blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varieties combine fruity flavours of lemon and apple with a firm texture in the final wine.
Why we chose it?
A fantastic alternative to a top Champagne, and will keep for several years - if you can wait that long to open it.

Penine Istenič
This family owned winery was the very first to produce traditional method fizz in Slovenia. Inspired by his apprenticeship in Champagne, Janez Istenič discovered the same high acidity could be replicated. The winery prioritises free run juice and a long slow bottle aging to achieve its high quality sparkling wines.
