The Wine Advocate
2023 Pinot Gris
Weinlaubenhof Kracher
, Österreich
From a very warm and dry year and aged for 15 months on the fine lees entirely in stainless steel, the 2023 Pinot Gris trocken offers a clear, precise and fresh, even savory and slightly flinty bouquet with the characterful Illmitz features that combine elegant and charming fruit with delicate saline nuances. The wine is round and textured on the palate due to the extended sur lie aging and reveals serious tannic grip and elegant intensity that leads to a very good, well-concentrated but balanced finish. This is a very good Pinot Gris for such a warm vintage.
“Twenty years ago, you could easily take two weeks to harvest Pinot Gris, but now, in warm autumns, you only have three days,” says Gerhard Kracher. ”After that, the sugar content can skyrocket and the acidity can plummet, making the wines too heavy and broad.” Kracher's 2023 Pinot Gris is an excellent modern wine with character and a great talent to pair with countless dishes.
