Esterházy Große Reserve Blanc de Noir Brut Nature Sparkling 2019

The base wine for this refined, taut sparkler is sourced from 20-year-old vines and was fermented in stainless steel before spending three years resting on the lees. There’s good weight and structure alongside the citrus, sour cherry, bread and nuts, with a rich saline character to the pure mineral tone. This will evolve through 2028+.[Falstaff.com did not include a tasting note.] Score – 93. (falstaff.com, April 10, 2024)
