Kracher TBA No. 4 Grande Cuvee 2020, 0,38 L

With 2 x 98 point ratings, this is one of the best sweet wines in the world from a top winery from the Neusiedlersee wine-growing region!

The 2020 vintage of the Trockenbeerenauslese No. 4 Grande Cuvée Nouvelle Vague is a cuvee of 60% Welschriesling (fermented in large oak barrels) and 40% Chardonnay (matured in barriques). The wine exhibits an intense and concentrated bouquet with spicy flavours of quince, lemon chutney, candied lemons, ripe and luscious apricots and pineapple. Nuances of nougat, caramel and salt complete the complex spectrum of flavours. The wine is deep and complex, yet refined, fresh and extremely elegant. On the palate, this Trockenbeerenauslese is round, intense and sophisticated. It is a slightly salty and elegant Grande Cuvée that seems weightless and develops a spectacularly long and intense finish with salty notes and concentrated fruit such as melons, apricots, lemons, quinces and grapefruit. The aftertaste is intense and lingering, with great finesse and elegance. This wine is a marvel and especially impressive the day after opening. It will probably need a decade or more to develop even more complexity.
