Alois Kracher Scheurebe TBA No. 10 Zwischen den Seen 2002 375ml

Alois Kracher built his reputation by pushing the boundaries of sweet winemaking in Austria, crafting intensely expressive TBAs from the shallow lakes and low-lying vineyards of Burgenland. His style marries opulence with exacting balance, and this 2002 bottling is a prime example. Scheurebe, a highly aromatic crossing of Riesling and Bukettrebe, thrives in botrytized expressions, offering an exotic spectrum of fruit and spice. Here, over two decades of bottle age have shaped its dense core of apricot jam, candied grapefruit, and saffron into something silky and seamless. A thread of lifted spice and citrus peel holds it taut, and the finish carries on with notes of toffee and orange blossom. Resplendent and astonishingly alive.
