Weingut Kracher: Tradition Meets Excellence
The Kracher Collection is renowned worldwide for its exceptional Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA) wines, which have become a staple of international fine dining. These wines are distinguished by their outstanding quality, complex aromas and remarkable ageing potential.
Alongside our current TBA wines, our online shop also features the “Library Release” – a selection of sweet wines that have been carefully aged for decades, reaching exceptional maturity and complexity.
Gerhard Kracher currently runs Weingut Kracher in its third generation. Since Alois Kracher Sr., a pioneer of the region around Lake Neusiedl, the Kracher family has shaped the art of sweet winemaking. His son, Alois Kracher Jr., established the winery on the international stage.

An extraordinary recognition and an impressive testament to the outstanding quality of our wines, which continue to set new standards in the world of sweet wines. Liquid gold that captivates wine lovers around the world.

Kracher
About us & our philosophy
The Kracher Winery lies in the Seewinkel area of Austria´s Burgenland. Here, through the evaporative periods of Lake Neusiedl, the evening fog and the warm Pannonian climate, continuous warm-humid weather patterns are dominant and, therefore, allow for Botrytis cinerea to be generated. This is what provides the basis for the fantastic sweet wines such as Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese.
From the grape varieties Welschriesling, Chardonnay, Traminer, Scheurebe, Muskat-Ottonel and, from time to time even Zweigelt, Alois Kracher created each year 10 to 15 different Trockenbeerenauslesen wines in two different styles. Zwischen den Seen (“in between the lakes”) are the wines which are matured in large wooden barrels or steel tanks, and undergo long yeast contact in order to deliver freshness, fruit und primary grape aromas into the bottle. The wines of the Nouvelle Vague line are marked by barrique ageing with air exchange during maturation. Vivid and lively in taste, depth, spiciness and length are these wines notable characteristics.
Today, Gerhard manages the winery with the help of his life-in partner Yvonne. The range offered by what is undoubtedly the most widely known Austrian wine estate features the world-famous Trockenbeerenauslesen as well as Beerenauslesen, Auslesen, Eiswein (ice wine) and small amounts of dry white and red wines.
