Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Kracher’s 2013 Zweigelt Trockenbeerenauslese No 2 Nouvelle Vague opens very delicate, pure, spicy and intense on the nose, with candied cherry and plummy flavors. The wine is very intense and sweet, but elegant, finesse-full and well structured due to remarkably fine tannins.

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).
