2022 TBA No. 4 Scheurebe

The 2022 Trockenbeerenauslese No 4 Scheurebe Zwischen den Seen is brilliant clear, intense and elegant, offering notes of Moroccan peppermint, dark chocolate, crushed salt, nettles and passion fruit. Very clear, vital and savory on the palate, this is an elegant and playful, perfectly balanced TBA with clear and elegant fruit and a richness that is uplifted by the fine, crystalline acidity. The wine, which has been vinified in stainless steel for nearly 30 months, develops a long and aromatic finish. It can easily be drunk today but also be aged for decades. By Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate

Intense and vibrant from the off - orange and pineapple nose, baked and in a pie, not bitter or fresh more ripe. Chocolate, exotic mango and pineapple, just amazingly sweet though, a hint of sherbet-edged acidity gives the lift but the focus here is the rich fruit and heavenly sugar content. Well constructed and so full of enjoyment. Despite the concentration there's brightness, energy and purity of fruit among the sweetness. One of five wines in the line up, from the outstanding 2022 vintage, entering the Place de Bordeaux this September. Incredible. Director and winemaker Gerhard Kracher. Georgina Hindle , Decanter


Honeycomb. Apricot and apricot compote. And something more essential, like a parfumier’s extract of apricot kernel. Rhubarb tarte tatin! Wonderfully sapid and juicy, despite the considerable sweetness here. It comes across searingly fresh which is, as ever, incredible given the level of residual sugar present. Another magical wine.
