The Kracher Beerenauslese Zweigelt 2022 is an exceptional and rare sweet wine from Austria, and impressively demonstrates how masterfully the Kracher winery has mastered the balance between fruit sweetness, freshness and structure. This Beerenauslese is vinified from Zweigelt grapes and consists of around 60–70 per cent botrytised grapes, which lend the wine its exceptional aromatic depth and concentration. The combination of botrytised grapes and the characteristic red-wine structure of Zweigelt creates an unmistakable style that stands out clearly from classic white Beerenauslese wines. With an alcohol content of 11 per cent, the wine remains elegant and approachable despite its intensity. The 0.375-litre bottle further emphasises the exclusive dessert wine character of this speciality.


The 2022 vintage impresses with its remarkable clarity and purity, with the botrytis character enhancing the fruit without overpowering it. The Kracher Beerenauslese Zweigelt displays a fascinating blend of juicy red fruit, candied notes and lively freshness. It is precisely this interplay that makes it a prime example of modern Austrian sweet wine-making, enjoying international renown. The wine is ideal for special occasions and shows impressive ageing potential whilst already offering great drinking pleasure.
