Tasting notes
Very complex nose of tropical fruit coulis, vanilla, candied ginger and toffee apples. Serious concentration and density, but also a vibrancy that wines of this category seldom have. You need some time to sink into the aromatic and textural complexity, but it’s more than worth the effort. Long, silky and elegant finish. Drink or hold.

So good, full of gorgeous apricot puree, coconut leaf, pineapple, saffron, cumin, turmeric, silky and opulent without being overly sweet, just a beautiful slice of pleasure. Winemaker Gerhard Kracher.
(Burgenland; 65%; Welschriesling; 35% Chardonnay; 210.7 g/l of residual sugar; total acidity of 8.0 g/l; 10% alcohol; tasted first at the Joanne press tasting and then with Gerhard Kracher at the offices of his Bordeaux courtier). This is the principle release on la place, with the other cuvées only available as part of the 2024 collection case. Apricot pure and simple – but painted by a great master in finely pixilated detail. A little candyfloss and peanut brittle – burnt sugar bitterness. So pure and precise. Very Lafaurie Peyraguey with lanolin and a little pineapple on the palate too. A little granny smith too and nectarine flesh and skin. Saline – massively so – and that brings concentration and density. Massively impactful and so pure.
