Profile & Story

Weingut Kracher, based in Illmitz on the Neusiedlersee in Burgenland's Seewinkel, is internationally regarded as the benchmark producer of Austrian botrytized sweet wines, founded by Alois Kracher and continued by son Gerhard. This Beerenauslese is 100% Zweigelt, Austria's signature red grape, fermented and matured in new oak barrels for 6 months. ABV 9.5%, residual sugar 129.9 g/L, acidity 6.2 g/L.

Tasting Notes

Clear, with delicate plummy and oaky notes on a fine, precise nose; an elegant, refined and balanced Beerenauslese with a certain friskiness and astringency on the finish. (Official Kracher tech sheet.)

Pairing Recommendation

Producer-recommended with dark chocolate desserts, hearty game dishes, and mature soft cheese.
