Kracher 2005 Zwischen den Steen Nummer 8 Trockenbeerenauslese Welschriesling (Burgenland)

Online Exclusive

Price $103

The intensity of the acidity, piercing through the sweetness, is what is astonishing about this wine. It gives the wine an ethereal quality, a lightness to go with the concentration of the dried fruits and orange zest flavors. The essence of TBA. — R.V. (3/1/2009)

Kracher 2008 Zwischen den Seen Nummer 9 Trockenbeerenauslese Welschriesling (Burgenland)

Opulent honey and lemon aromas waft from the glass in this superrich but so balanced wine. The acidity is an essential element, cutting through the sweet orange, honey and ginger flavors. A gorgeous wine. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

Kracher 2004 Zwischen den Seen Trockenbeerenauslese Nummer 10 Scheurebe (Neusiedlersee)

Cellar Selection

Price $90

The most complex of Kracher’s 2004 TBAs, as well as the richest in residual sugar. It has mandarin orange, peaches and crystallized fruits. There is freshness, despite its sweetness. It should age magnificently. — R.V. (2/1/2007)

Kracher 2005 Nouvelle Vague Nummer 10 Trockenbeerenauslese Chardonnay (Burgenland)

Online Exclusive

Price $111

Marmalade, syrup, molasses and a deep layer of botrytis dryness are all elements of this superb wine. But it is so much more than the sum of its parts, because it is the sheer intensity that makes it so fabulous. The finish prolongs the pleasure, the acidity mingling with pure concentration and wonderful, unforgettable honey and fresh fruit. — R.V. (3/1/2009)

Kracher 2008 Zwischen den Seen Nummer 11 Trockenbeerenauslese Scheurebe (Burgenland)

Price $103

A beautiful wine that is almost like nectar. It has extreme freshness, while the acidity is a wonderful contrast. Such concentrated orange flavors and a smooth texture while there is a great citrus edge. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

Kracher 2004 Nouvelle Vague Trockenbeerenauslese Grande Cuvée Nummer 6 White (Neusiedlersee)

Editors' Choice

Price $80

This 2004, matured in small French oak (hence Nouvelle Vague) is a smooth, sensational blend of grape varieties, rich and at the same time structured, and quite likely to be the wine out of the 10 TBAs Kracher has produced in 2004 that will age beautifully. But enjoy it now for the honey, the dry botrytis and the sweet orange peel and apricot flavors. — R.V. (2/1/2007)

Kracher 2005 Zwischen den Steen Nummer 9 Trockenbeerenauslese Scheurebe (Burgenland)

Online Exclusive

Price $103

As the Kracher wines gain in intensity, so they diminish in alcohol. The overwhelming richness is held in check by life-giving freshness. The fruit flavors are just a part of the wine, because the botrytis and density are just as important. The finish of honey lingers long. — R.V. (3/1/2009)

points

Kracher 2008 Nouvelle Vague Nummer 12 Trockenbeerenauslese Chardonnay (Burgenland)

Cellar Selection

The smoothest, ripest wine, its opulent character brought out by the touch of wood. It is so rich, the honey edge surrounded by ripe mango and pineapple with a light touch of acidity. Age this wine for several years. — R.V. (10/1/2011)
