🏰 The 2019 Kracher Trockenbeerenauslese No. 5 Grande Cuvée Nouvelle Vague is a stunning dessert wine from Austria's Burgenland region, often hailed as the "Flagship" of the Kracher collection for its peerless balance. This masterpiece of botrytis-affected winemaking is a meticulous blend of 60% Welschriesling and 40% Chardonnay, fermented and aged for 28 months in new French barriques and large Slavonian oak vats, lending it a creamy texture and sophisticated secondary aromatics. It reveals a brilliant golden-yellow hue and an explosive bouquet of candied orange zest, dried apricot, honey, and subtle toasted oak. The palate is lush and unctuous, yet vibrating with an "electric" acidity and saline minerality that perfectly counters its 205g/L of residual sugar, finishing with notes of tropical mango and ginger that linger for minutes. It has received high scores of 98 points from both Robert Parker and James Suckling. 【"Flagship" of the Kracher collection, with peerless balance and 98 points from Robert Parker & James Suckling】. 🍴 This exquisite sweet wine is a perfect accompaniment to rich desserts such as crème brûlée, fruit tarts, or blue cheeses.
