TBA No. 9 Welschriesling from Weinlaubenhof Kracher is a top-tier sweet wine produced in the Trockenbeerenauslese category, meaning it is made from individually selected Welschriesling berries naturally dehydrated on the vine and concentrated through noble rot. In the Seewinkel area near Lake Neusiedlersee, this grape variety develops exceptional intensity thanks to humid, foggy mornings and warm, sunny days.
The wine shows a deep golden-amber color, indicating richness and concentration. On the nose, it opens with aromas of apricot, candied citrus peel, honey, and dried pineapple, followed by characteristic botrytis notes such as wax and caramel.
On the palate, it is dense and multilayered, combining honeyed sweetness with ripe stone fruit and a subtle mineral touch. Despite the high level of natural sweetness, vibrant acidity keeps the wine fresh and prevents heaviness.
The texture is velvety and almost syrup-like, yet the finish remains precise and elegant. Due to the high residual sugar and strong acidity, this wine has remarkable aging potential and can evolve for decades, developing additional layers of complexity over time.
TBA No. 9 Welschriesling embodies Kracher’s signature style - maximum concentration, purity of aromatics, and perfect harmony between sweetness and acidity.
