The crimson-colored 2022 Trockenbeerenauslese No 1 Zweigelt Nouvelle Vague is deep, intense and refined on the nose that is still a little untamed but shows fresh red berry and floral aromas intermingled with saline notes. The wine is rich and intense, remarkably concentrated and reveals sustainable salinity and mineral tension on the long and complex, vital finish that also reveals fine but structuring tannins, which make this TBA an excellent wine to pair with food, especially after 10 to 20 years. By Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate Bright, blood red in the glass. Red apple, some bitter lemon and grapefruit touches, lifted zesty lemon and bright acidity makes this tangy yet sweet - a great combination that is so drinkable and enjoyable. Super impressive. Some bitter touches alongside the creamy, visovus texture. It manages to weave vibrancy with structure and intensity but keeping a lifted frame and moreish quality. Have with food. One of five wines in the line up, from the outstanding 2022 vintage, entering the Place de Bordeaux this September. Director and winemaker Gerhard Kracher. Georgina Hindle, Decanter Peach and pear belle Helene. Already quite a lot of sugar. A hint of raspberry too and, strangely perhaps, childhood memories of Ribena. Relatively simple as these wines go, though with that characteristic Kracher purity and freshness. When re-tasted it’s the raspberry and, again, the cassis cordial that one really hones in on. Saline as ever with a lovely and distinct minerality, here just a little oyster shell but also a subtle hint of salted roasted macademia nuts. With aeration the acidity seems to mount and it reins in the sugar. I think this will age very well, but at the moment it hasn’t fully come together. The Drinks Business, Colin Hay Transparente Farbnoten, ausgeprägte Weichsel, Zesten, Nougat und Kirsche; kräftig, gut balanciertes Frucht-Säurespiel; eingebundene Restsüße; Karamell un Cranberry im Nachhall; sehr lang anhaltend. 95/100 Punkte.

Vinified in stainless steel, the golden-yellow 2022 Trockenbeerenauslese No 2 Welschriesling Zwischen den Seen is superbly precise and concentrated on the nose that displays perfectly ripe, yellow botrytis fruit with beautiful lemon nuances intermingled with saline and herbal tea notes. The wine is rich but highly finessed and elegant on the palate, beautifully balanced and mouthfilling, Savory as it is, the wine develops a subtle intensity without power or overconcentration. It is full of finesse and brightness yet also this characteristic salinity that makes Kracher's wines so irresistible. This is a fabulous, very sustainable and gastronomic TBA that no wine lover would want to put down the glass. In any case, the drinking speed is likely to be quite high, and the finish is the longest of the 2022 collection. By Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate Lively and bright, this has a gorgeous playful aspect with pineapple and peach and biting acidity that cuts through some of the sweetness. Rich and intense yet delineated, precise, finessed and elegant. Citrus fruit, saline notes and savoury touches of vanilla, white chocolate and dried herbs. I like this a lot, lifted and pure with plenty going on. Thick and viscous but keeps a sherbet, citrus kick on the back which makes it so fun and approachable. Totally yum. A marvelous wine. One of five wines in the line up, from the outstanding 2022 vintage, entering the Place de Bordeaux this September. Director and winemaker Gerhard Kracher. Georgina Hindle, Decanter Apple. Pure and simple. Granny Smith. But with a red apple skin too. A little white pear. Peanut brittle and salt. Pure, simple – a little like the cuvée no. 1 – but with more obvious potential (though both will age very gracefully and gain in complexity). There’s a fascinating hint of greenery here – part floral, part herbal, part almost grassy – and it breathes freshness into this in a most beguiling way. Fresh ginger too. I love that very Kracher peanut brittle note. Gorgeous, though once again at this stage the residual sugar slightly triumphs on the palate over the acidity (less of an issue, ironically, with the higher number – i.e.: higher residual sugar – cuvées).

The 2022 Trockenbeerenauslese No 3 Grande Cuvée Nouvelle Vague is a deep, complex, very elegant and refined, saline blend of Welschriesling and Chardonnay vinified in barriques for 30 months. Lemon rind and chutney aromas intermingle with oak, vanilla and bright toast aromas. The wine is generous and rich yet highly refined and elegant on the palate, provided with concentrated and sweet fruit, very fine tannins and this saline and crystalline acidity that is so delicate that it takes this sweet wine on its wings toward heaven. Due to its balance, this is an irresistible though pretty sweet TBA that I would thus cellar for another decade to benefit from all its complexity without being detracted from its now prominent sweetness. By Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate Green apple, pear and pineapple, a little more subdued than the other two so far, even though it has pronounced sweetness. That said, this is lighter and more easy going, easier to drink perhaps or more versatile, but still with a silkiness and depth that is so remarkable with freshness and purity despite the sugariness. Gorgeous, peach and pear, creamy lemon, some vanilla and lemon verbena with wisps of sea salt acidity. Divine. 181.7g/l residual sugar. One of five wines in the line up, from the outstanding 2022 vintage, entering the Place de Bordeaux this September. Director and winemaker Gerhard Kracher. Georgina Hindle, Decanter The saline minerality immediately evident aromatically. This is more complex that the other cuvées and more evidently a wine of assemblage. That glorious slightly grilled, slightly charred pineapple note. Lime zest. Salted peanut brittle, again. Wild field honey. Pear. Peach belle Helene. Confit and fresh ginger. Toffee apple. Lanolin. On the palate this is not quite as viscous as it sometimes is, but that somehow gives more space for the fresh fruits to present themselves. It’s a little like the most wonderful fruit cocktail in a rich slightly burnt caramel syrup – one encounters the fresh and acidic fruits from a sea of richer, fuller and sweeter notes. Fresh pineapple with aeration in the mouth, and a little sesame seed. Great tension, as that implies, an impressive amplitude too and a kind of calm tranquillity despite the profound sense of energy and vibrancy. A little hint of coconut on the finish and ginger ale in the empty glass.

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.

The fire-red brick-colored 2022 Trockenbeerenauslese No 5 Rosenmuskateller Nouvelle Vague is a beautiful rarity that intermingles very fine oak, toast and nougat aromas with notes of candied cherries, red berries, flowers, nutmeg and pencil shavings. On the palate, this is a generously sweet but refined and elegant, almost weightless TBA whose richness is enormous but uplifted by salinity, delicate acidity and filigreed tannins. The finish is very long and savory and promises great aging capacity. This is the sweetest TBA of the vintage, but it's never clumsy or saturating. We just need to give it time. By Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate A wonderful dark red colour in the glass. Wow incredible nose, blood orange rind and gorgeously perfumed pot pour - incredibly floral. Filling but so smooth and effortless, silky, this is dangerously drinkable with a lovely slightly orange juice element alongside a nougat, nutty sugary peach and pear succulence. Rich, sweet, thick, weighty but refined too and lifted by threads of delicious salty acidity. The highest level of residual sugar in the five-wine line up, from the outstanding 2022 vintage, entering the Place de Bordeaux this September. Incredible. Director and winemaker Gerhard Kracher. Georgina Hindle, Decanter Not unlike no. 1 but with almost twice as much residual sugar. Raspberry puree. Almost too much. There is a load of acidity here – glory be – but it’s still almost at the limit. Rhubarb crumble.
