This exquisite 750ml bottle showcases the pinnacle of dessert wines, featuring a golden hue and a bouquet rich with honeyed apricots, vanilla, and subtle oak. The Trockenbeerenauslese style, with its meticulously harvested, overripe grapes, delivers a luxuriant sweetness balanced by a vibrant acidity. On the palate, it unfolds layers of ripe peach, candied citrus, and a hint of spice, culminating in a long, elegant finish.
Producer Information
Kracher is a wine producer located in the Burgenland region of Austria, where the estate's vineyards span from the village of Illmitz to the shores of Lake Neusiedl. The terroir here is perfect for the spread of botrytis or 'noble rot', and Kracher make a range of lusciously sweet Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese wines. Kracher produces a wide range of wines, including Auslese, Eiswein, sparkling and dry white and red wines. The flagship wines, however, are the Trockenbeerenauslese wines that fall under two labels – Zwischen den Seen (meaning "in between the lakes") and Nouvelle Vague. The Kracher estate is located in Seewinkel on a vast plain dotted with numerous shallow lakes. Water evaporation from the lakes generates a dense fog which hangs over the area until it is eventually broken by the midday sun. These conditions are ideal for the development of Botrytis cinerea, which is instrumental in the production of Kracher's signature Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese wines. The vineyards are densely planted with Welschriesling, Chardonnay, Traminer, Weissburgunder, Muscat Ottonel and Sämling 88 (Scheurebe). The estate was founded by Alois Kracher in the mid-20th Century, and taken over by his son Luis in 1991. Luis Kracher became an important figure in the Austrian wine industry, but sadly died in 2007. His son, Gerhard Kracher, took over and has run the estate since.
