WINE ADVOCATE 94 POINTS - Blending 40% Chardonnay with 60% Welschriesling, the golden-yellow colored 2020 Beerenauslese Cuvée is intense and concentrated on the finely saline and fruit-intense nose that reveals perfectly ripe, stewed and candied lemon zest and orange aromas intermingled with ripe apricot and a kiss of toast and mocha due to the 15% used barriques during the vinification. Round and refined on the palate, this is a very intense yet fine, elegant, fruit-intense and balanced Beerenauslese with very delicate acidity. It has an uplifting, savory and saline finish and delivers lots of energy and tension but most of all finesse paired with intensity. This is surely one of the finest BAs I have ever tasted from Kracher in 20 years. 11% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in Lütjensee, Hamburg, in June 2023.
****
Kracher wines have long been in a class of their own. The vision of legendary winemaker Alois Kracher, Jr. is carried on by his son Gerhard. Practically no other sweet wines have reached such a high level of recognition worldwide or the same consistently high ratings. Serve these wines from picturesque Illmitz, Austria to friends at your home for a special evening!
This handcrafted dessert wine has pronounced honeyed notes over attractive aromas of ripe stone fruit, subtle spices and mineral character. Nuances of juicy yellow fruit with vibrant acidity; highly elegant and balanced with a touch of salt, leading to a lingering mandarin finish.
