Kracher Trockenbeerenauslese Grande Cuvee – Burgenland – Sweet – 2019 – 375 ml:

 

Kracher TBA Grande Cuvée: Austria’s Liquid Gold

The KRACHER TBA GRANDE CUVEE BLANC is a benchmark for world-class noble sweet wine. Produced by the iconic Kracher estate in the Burgenland region of Austria, the Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA) designation signifies the highest level of concentration achievable through the ‘noble rot’ (Botrytis Cinerea). This Grande Cuvée is a magnificent blend of Welschriesling and Chardonnay, meticulously aged in oak to achieve an extraordinary balance of richness and finesse, making it a stellar addition to any cellar.

Sommelier’s Notes: Depth and Longevity

• Appearance: A radiant golden hue, deepening to a burnished bronze with maturity.
• Aroma: A profound and layered nose of dried apricot, quince marmalade, ginger spice, and fine oak toast, complemented by a unique, refreshing saline note from the Neusiedlersee terroir.
• Taste: The wine is incredibly unctuous-a thick, silky mouthfeel-yet remains remarkably elegant. The high residual sugar is beautifully contained by a sharp, balancing acidity, ensuring freshness despite its concentration. The finish is persistent, leaving notes of toffee and lemon curd.

Food Matching & Enjoyment

An exceptional partner for fine dining and cheese courses.

• Serving Suggestion: Best served lightly chilled (10-12°C) in a small dessert wine glass.
• Cellaring: Capable of ageing for decades, gaining complexity and depth.
