Wine Spectator
“A decadent, unctuous nectar, with impressive purity to its notes of dried apricot, poached pear, white raisin and chamomile drizzled with honey, all shot through with bright acidity. The finish is balanced and chiseled for this very sweet style and keeps you going back for more. Smoky and long. Welschriesling and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2035. 100 cases imported.”
Kracher Cuvee Beerenauslese 2018 375ml
Bright yellow with silver reflections. Pronounced honeyed notes over attractive aromas of ripe stone fruit, subtle spices and mineral character. Nuances of juicy yellow fruit with vibrant acidity; highly elegant and balanced with a touch of salt, leading to a lingering mandarin finish.
Critical Acclaim
94 James Suckling
All the dried fruit, brulee character and boldness we expect from a Burgenland BA!. Lush, creamy and concentrated with live-wire acidity that drives the very long, succulent and spicy finish. Drink or hold.
93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Blending 70% Welschriesling with 30% Chardonnay, the 2018 Cuvée Beerenauslese offers a fascinating, precise and spicy quince and refreshing lemon zest aroma and even salinity. Bottled with 135 grams per liter of residual sugar, this is a highly elegant, refined and perfectly balanced Cuvée with precision, lingering salinity and delicate freshness. Sustainable candied fruit aromas. This is a gorgeous BA that should go perfectly well with mature cheese, certainly Kaiserschmarrn (torn pancake) and salted popcorn.
92 Wine Enthusiast
A lovely and graceful sweet-styled white, showing aromas of apricot and melon, with dried mango, mint jelly and spicy honey making it an intriguing drink. It is never over the top, but you definitely have to be into the style to appreciate this fully.
