Kracher Beerenauslese Dessert Wine from Austria 2021

From the sun-soaked vineyards of Burgenland, Austria, Kracher Beerenauslese Cuvée 2021 is a benchmark dessert wine crafted from carefully selected Chardonnay and Welschriesling grapes affected by noble rot. This region is celebrated for producing some of the world’s most expressive sweet wines, and Kracher continues that legacy with precision, patience, and unmistakable elegance in every bottle.

The nose opens with layers of caramelized apple, roasted fig, marmalade, and honeyed stone fruit, followed by subtle hints of anise and warm spice. On the palate, it is richly sweet yet beautifully lifted by vibrant acidity, revealing flavors of ripe peach, tropical fruits, citrus peel, and a refined mineral edge that carries through to a long, polished finish.

Best enjoyed well chilled, this Beerenauslese shines alongside fruit-based desserts, blue cheese, or simply on its own as a slow, contemplative pour. A luxurious after-dinner wine that feels indulgent without heaviness, made for collectors and dessert wine lovers alike.
