Kracher Cuvee Beerenauslese, 2008
Delicious botrytis sweet wine with very bright medium gold color, seductive aromas of candied peaches and honey with intriguing smoky notes and concentrated ripe yellow fruit flavors with mineral qualities and a very clean and tangy acidic finish; Kracher is a family winery located in eastern Austria boarding Hungry that make a range of acclaimed sweet and now also dry wines.
Serve at 8℃; lovely by itself but all good with all types of dry cookies and cakes as well as dried fruits.
80% fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks, 20% aged in large oak casks for 16 months.
Lovely now but can be cellared for decades.
