Kracher Cuvée Beerenauslese 2020 - 37,5 cl.
£25.49 (Inc. VAT bot. 37,5 cl.) / North Ireland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Blending 40% Chardonnay with 60% Welschriesling, the golden-yellow colored 2020 Beerenauslese Cuvée is intense and concentrated on the finely saline and fruit-intense nose that reveals perfectly ripe, stewed and candied lemon zest and orange aromas intermingled with ripe apricot and a kiss of toast and mocha due to the 15% used barriques during the vinification. Round and refined on the palate, this is a very intense yet fine, elegant, fruit-intense and balanced Beerenauslese with very delicate acidity. It has an uplifting, savory and saline finish and delivers lots of energy and tension but most of all finesse paired with intensity. This is surely one of the finest BAs I have ever tasted from Kracher in 20 years. 11% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in Lütjensee, Hamburg, in June 2023.

Winemaking
Description
Kracher Cuvée Beerenauslese is born from the passion and commitment to produce sweet wines of the highest quality. This cuvée is a harmonious blend of 40% Chardonnay and 60% Welschriesling, two varieties which, when blended together, create a wine with unrivalled personality and character.
Winemaking
85% of the wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks, while the remaining 15% is aged in large barrels for a period of 12 months. This combination of vinification techniques allows the wine to acquire a richness and complexity that distinguishes it in the world of wines.
Taste
Immersing oneself in the sensory world of Kracher Cuvée Beerenauslese, one is greeted by notes of white peaches and melon that unfold on the nose. These initial aromas give way to nuances of stone fruit, citrus, tangerine and ripe yellow peach. The wine's elegant acidic structure is present on the palate, offering a perfect balance with the wine's natural sweetness. It is long, fresh and persistent, leaving a lasting impression. Visually, the wine presents a honey yellow colour, dense and fluid, reflecting its freshness and richness.
This wine is a true chameleon when it comes to food pairing, as it pairs perfectly with desserts, cheeses and such exotic dishes as spicy Thai red curry.
