Saldusis saldus
Wonderful intensity here. Honey, candied citrus and apricot flavors are dripping with botrytis, lending a pungent, spicy character, and theres a vibrant acidity supporting it all. Very sweet, yet clean and almost mouthwatering on the long finish. Best from 2006 through 2020. 165 cases made.
The Kracher winery in Austria is located next to Lake Neusiedl. It is one of the few places in the world where practically every year it is possible to grow and harvest a proper harvest affected by noble rot and to produce sweet wines. It is the sweet Kracher wines that have gained worldwide recognition and various titles, the producer himself has been recognized as the winemaker of the year five times, and one of the most famous wine critic Robert Parker rates Kracher wines the highest (the only Austrian wine is rated 100 points!). Kracher wine is characterized by harmony, as the sweetness is offset and balanced by refreshing acids, and the most complex wines are exceptionally long-lasting and become an object of collection.
