2015 Alois Kracher Trockenbeerenauslese #1 Nouvelle Vague Half Bottle 375ml, Burgenland

Bright golden yellow, silver reflections. With such a high must weight, even the best yeasts do not make it into the official wine category. What the heck, even the legendary natural essences in Tokaj ferment only on the must surface. Nuances of candied orange zest and peach peel, yellow tropical fruit notes, some nougat, still a bit shy. Honeyed, almost a bit thick on the palate, lines the palate, subtle nutty hints, has a taut acidic structure in the background, silky-sweet finish, mineral-salty underpinnings, will live forever. Flawless, but far too young to rate (not a wine by the letter of the law, but a partially fermented grape must from Austria).

Nuances of juicy yellow fruit with vibrant acidity; highly elegant and balanced with a touch of salt, leading to a lingering mandarine finish. great potential. Pairs with all desserts, Hot Thai red curry
