Kracher TBA Nr4 Rosenmuskateller 2021

Gerhard Kracher is world-famous for the quality of his sweet wines. Gerhard knows better than anyone how to maintain the balance between sweetness and acidity; he even succeeds in letting the characteristics of each grape speak in his noble rot wines.

The 2021 Rosenmuskateller TBA No. 4 Nouvelle Vague is a shimmering, smoky light red. Rose oil and blossom honey aromas are intense on the nose. The sweet, fluid palate shows real nuttiness that further mollifies that rose oil scent, adding a touch of pepper and a creamier vibe. This is an elixir of aromatic sweetness of exquisitely scented length. 96/100 Vinous

Dense strawberry fruit with a glaze of floral honey gives this very rich, rosé dessert wine plenty of appeal, and there’s a bright acidity that lifts this on the lush and full-bodied palate. Long, compact and crisp finish. Drink or hold.
94/100 Stuart Pigott - jamessuckling.com

Picked a couple of days earlier than the Red Roses BA, the 2021 Trockenbeerenauslese No 4 Rosenmuskateller Nouvelle Vague is deep, refined and spicy on the pure and elegant nose that reveals candied cherry, nougat, mocha and also floral aromas. Full-bodied, rich and elegant on the palate, this is a concentrated and savory, lemony and tight TBA with fine tannins, candied lemon and grapefruit notes on the finish. This is very young but promising.
