Kracher Cuvee Auslese 2017, Austria

Luring aromas of peach, blossom honey and baby bananas lead into a nectar of juicy tropical fruit, lychee and honey.

Kracher Cuvee Auslese is a sweet dessert wine from Burgenland, Austria. It's a blend of Chardonnay and Welschriesling with 12.0% abv. Suitable for Vegans.

Alois Kracher, named seven-time 'Winemaker of the Year' by Wine Magazine, sadly passed in 2017 and this sweet wine is a continuation of his legacy. The Kracher Winery lies in the Seewinkel area of Austria´s Burgenland. Here, through the evaporative periods of Lake Neusiedl, the evening fog and the warm Pannonian climate, continuous warm-humid weather patterns are dominant and, therefore, allow for Botrytis cinerea to be generated. It's this Bortrytis that's the key ingredient for Kracher's world-class dessert wines. This Auslese is medium green-yellow with attractive aromas of peach, blossom honey and nuances of baby bananas. Good complexity with fresh, juicy tropical white fruit characters, a touch of lychee with mineral characters, well-structured with a lingering citrus finish.

You'll like this if you like... Sauternes or fruity desserts.

Pairs beautifully with: Desserts like Creme Brulee, almond Biscotti, or poached pears and cream.

Cheese pairing: Crumby blue Stilton or semi-soft Morbier.
