2013 Kracher Kollektion

Dried apricots, fresh sultanas and orange peel on the nose and orange peel. On the palate, orange and yellow orange and yellow ringed apricots. Citrus flavour on the finish.

Light golden yellow, delicate reddish touch, fine perlage. Delicate pear fruit with a hint of red berries, nuances of stone fruit. Juicy, yellow tropical fruit, subtle fruit sweetness, complex and creamy, lively structure, lemony touch, vinous finish, also suitable as a food companion. 90/100 Falstaff/Peter Moser Disgorged in September 2018, Kracher's salmon colored NV Brut Rosé, an assemblage of Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Zweigelt, blends the harvests from 2016, 2015 and 2013. Vinified in barriques and stainless steel, this is a very fruity, round but fresh sparkling wine with good texture and freshness on the finish. Dosed as Brut with the 1998 Welschriesling TBA No 7. The finish reveals a certain greenishness in the aftertaste. 88/100 The Wine Advocate / Stephan Reinhardt

Fine grapefruit, white flowers and delicate herbal spice on the nose. Juicy on the palate, fresh tropical fruit flavours, fine acidity structure. Ripe yellow peach fruit on the finish, very elegant, good length.

Strong golden yellow colour. Delicately smoky, fine orange zest, rose oil, perfect varietal characteristics. Powerful on the palate, fine wood spice, still needs some time to fully digest the wood, ... (from 2005 the Traminer will be matured in larger barrels to shed its somewhat "French" flavour). Mineral and well persistent, rose petals on the finish, this wine is still a long way from being ready to drink. The 2004 No 3 Traminer Trockenbeerenauslese Nouvelle Vague offers a fascinating nose of alkaline brine, faded roses, honey and celery seed that puts one in mind a bit of an older wine. Relatively firm on entry, this Traminer fills the mouth with subtle mint, rose, lychee, and celery seed, without being as extroverted as one would expect from the variety or from this degree of over-ripeness. Exuberance is held back for the finish, where a concentration of mint, cinnamon, and celery seed penetrate impressively, although residual sweetness has the last word. 90/100 The Wine Advocate / David Schildknecht
