2021 Kracher Trockenbeerenauslese Collection Case Nouvelle Vague (6 x 375ml) Pre-Arrival Offer

The Kracher Collection showcases the finest quality of Kracher wines, featuring only Trockenbeerenauslese from these seven grape varieties: Welschriesling, Chardonnay, Muskat Ottonel, Traminer, Zweigelt, Scheurebe, and Rosenmuskateller. The Grande Cuvée is the sole blend in the collection, made from Chardonnay and Welschriesling.

The collection box, redesigned annually and limited to just 320 pieces, is a handcrafted collector's item. Some wines are produced in such small quantities that they are exclusively available in this set.
The box contains a 375ml bottle of each:

• TBA No 1 Traminer

  Other Reviews…..
  The 2021 Trockenbeerenauslese No 1 Traminer Nouvelle Vague opens with a deep, intense, fresh and savory bouquet with candied lemon and minty and herbal aromas. Full-bodied, rich and savory on the palate, this is a refined and elegant, lemon-fresh and bitter-finishing TBA with a tight and spicy structure and less juice than in more generous years. This 2021 TBA is more pithy and saline, even gastronomic, since it doesn't taste super sweet but spicy and savory. This is due to early botrytis in a very dry year and the harvest in early October. 10.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2024. Drink: 2029 - 2070.

  Based on 65% Welschriesling and 35% Chardonnay, the golden-yellow 2021 Trockenbeerenauslese No 3 Grande Cuvée Nouvelle Vague opens with a concentrated and savory nose of candied pineapples and lemons along with notes of brown sugar and fine oak.

• TBA No 4 Rosenmuskateller

  Other Reviews…..
  Picked a couple of days earlier than the Red Roses BA, the 2021 Trockenbeerenauslese No 4 Rosenmuskateller Nouvelle Vague is deep, refined and spicy on the pure and elegant nose that reveals candied cherry, nougat, mocha and also floral aromas. Full-bodied, rich and elegant on the palate, this is a concentrated and savory, lemony and tight TBA with fine tannins, candied lemon and grapefruit notes on the finish. This is very young but promising. 9.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2024. Drink 2030 - 2070.

  The golden-yellow 2021 Trockenbeerenauslese No 5 Scheurebe Zwischen den Seen offers notes of orange tea, ripe mango, pineapple, honey and candied Amalfi lemons. Rich and oily on the lush and elegant palate, this is a generous yet refined and stimulatingly saline TBA with pretty sweet but also aromatic and well-balanced fruit. 6.5% stated alcohol.

• TBA No 6 Welschriesling

  Other Reviews…..
  The 2021 Trockenbeerenauslese No 6 Welschriesling Zwischen den Seen is deep, very clear, precise and savory on the dense and complex nose that shows bergamot and lavender notes along with quince and lemon aromas. Rich and generous on the palate, this is a very sweet and oily yet also savory and finessed TBA that is a spectacularly generous, finely tannic and balanced Welschriesling that fermented slowly for 18 months to end up as one of Kracher's greatest TBAs. 5.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2024. Drink 2025 - 2080.
