2015 Alois Kracher Trockenbeerenauslese #6 Grand Cuvee Nouvelle Vague Half Bottle 375ml, Austria

The 2015 Grande Cuvée TBA (Nummer 6) is another highlight in this range. All the best elements of the Kracher house style come together in a sweet wine that dazzles from start to finish. Orange confit, spice, passion fruit and exotic floral notes all grace this exquisite 70% Chardonnay and 30% Welschriesling blend.

The 2015 Trockenbeerenauslese No 6 Grande Cuvée Nouvelle Vague is a blend of barrel-fermented Chardonnay (70%) and Welschriesling (30%) that was aged in a 1,000-liter oak vat, both parts for 18 months. The wine offers a very clear, precise, fresh, intense and really distinctive bouquet with aromas of stewed quinces and lemons. On the palate, this is a highly delicate and perfectly balanced TBA with great finesse and purity (despite its high concentration). The acidity is very fine and persistently salty, and if there are any tannins, these are very fine too. A great elegant, finessed, beautifully balanced TBA. Drink 2018-2050.
