Description

Il Chardonnay Beerenauslese di Kracher, in formato 375ml, è un vino dolce dall'eleganza straordinaria, nato tra le mani esperte della rinomata cantina austriaca Kracher. Questo vino trae il suo nome dalla vendemmia tardiva delle uve Chardonnay, utilizzate per produrlo, che vengono raccolte a piena maturazione per esaltarne la dolcezza naturale e la complessità aromatica.

Alla vista, si presenta con un colore giallo dorato intenso, una tonalità che riflette la sua ricchezza e la concentrazione degli zuccheri. Al naso, rivela un bouquet aromatico complesso e avvolgente, con note di frutta esotica, albicocca secca, miele e sottili sfumature di fiori bianchi e vaniglia.

Il sorso è dolce, equilibrato e vellutato, con una spiccata acidità che bilancia perfettamente la dolcezza, conferendo una piacevole freschezza. La lunga persistenza aromatica lascia al palato sapori di frutta matura e accenti di caramello e spezie.

Grazie alla sua struttura e complessità, questo Chardonnay Beerenauslese è perfetto per essere abbinato a dolci strutturati, formaggi erborinati o foie gras, esaltandone le caratteristiche in maniera sublime. Una delizia da gustare in occasioni speciali o da riservare ai momenti di meditazione, rappresentando una delle massime espressioni del patrimonio enologico della cantina Kracher.

Winery history

Kracher is a family-owned business with three generations involved in viticulture in the Seewinkel. The name became internationally renowned especially thanks to the innovative work of Alois Kracher, who in the 1990s revived and redefined Austrian sweet wines; today management is entrusted to Gerhard Kracher, who assumed operational leadership in the mid-2000s.

Production philosophy

The estate aims to express the terroir through sweet wines of great finesse and balance: winemaking practices favor fruit expression, elegance and mineral tension rather than mere sugar concentration. For some selections aging in wood is emphasized, while others are kept fresher with extended lees contact or in large vessels.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located in the Seewinkel area, between Illmitz and the shores of Lake Neusiedl. The Pannonian microclimate, characterized by autumn mists and warm, humid conditions favorable to the development of Botrytis cinerea, is essential for the production of the sweet wines typical of the estate.

Awards and recognitions

Significant international recognition: a recent example reported that three Trockenbeerenauslesen were awarded 100 points by The Wine Advocate. The winery is often cited as one of the benchmark producers for Austrian sweet wines.
