The Kracher Beerenauslese Zweigelt 2022 is an exceptional sweet wine rarity from Austria and impressively demonstrates Kracher's mastery of the balance between fruit sweetness, freshness and structure. This Beerenauslese is vinified from Zweigelt grapes and consists of around 60-70% botrytised grapes, which gives the wine its special aromatic depth and concentration. The combination of noble rotten berries and the characteristic red wine structure of Zweigelt creates a distinctive style that clearly stands out from classic white Beerenauslese wines. With an alcohol content of 11%, the wine remains elegant and accessible despite its intensity. The bottling in a 0.375-litre bottle underlines the exclusive dessert wine character of this speciality.


The 2022 vintage impresses with its remarkable clarity and purity, with the botrytised character enhancing the fruit without masking it. The Kracher Beerenauslese Zweigelt displays a fascinating combination of juicy red fruit, candied notes and lively freshness. It is precisely this tension that makes it a prime example of modern Austrian sweet wine art with an international reputation. The wine is ideal for special moments of enjoyment and shows impressive potential for development while already offering great drinking pleasure.
