2021 Weinlaubenhof Alois Kracher Auslese, Burgenland, Austria (375ml HALF BOTTLE)

375ml HALF BOTTLE

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

Medium yellow-green, silver reflections. Ripe yellow peach, pineapple, fine touch of honey. Juicy, yellow tropical fruit nuances, fresh acidity, white fruit notes on the finish, some honey, lemony aftertaste.

TASTING NOTES:

Full aromas of mango, papaya and star fruit with a whiff of floral honey. Very ripe, creamy and juicy, but with lovely, citrusy acidity and a salty touch at the very clean finish that pulls you back for more. A cuvée of chardonnay and welschriesling, made from grapes with plenty of noble rot, some of it shriveled berries. Drink or hold.

- James Suckling, 93 pts. 

The 2020 Auslese Cuvée opens with an intense and concentrated, tropical bouquet with pineapple and green tea aromas. On the palate, this is a light but lush, intense and seamlessly textured Auslese with a dense and well-concentrated texture, ripe but elegant acidity and fine bitters on the finish.
