2013 Scheurebe TBA No. 8 Zwischen den Seen Kracher 37,5cl

For sale again 10 years after the vitange, Kracher's 2013 Trockenbeerenausleses No. 8 Scheurebe Zwischen den Seen exhibits a radiant amber color and opens with an intense and aromatic bouquet of secondary and first tertiary aromas along with tart and candied fruit, dried floral, nutty, nougat and honey notes. There is still some lemon freshness here, too. Dense and round on the palate, this is a very charming, textured, finessed and beautifully balanced noble sweet wine with highly stimulating salinity on the vivacious finish. The acidity is very delicate, and the candied sugar flavors are perfectly integrated. This is a great wine that is slowly leaving its Scheurebe features behind in favor of the terroir. 6.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork.

The 2013 Scheurebe Zwischen den Seen TBA is a wine of magnificent beauty. Deep, layered and so expressive, the 2013 possesses tremendous complexity and a real feeling of dimension that is hard to fully capture in words. Apricot jam, spice, rose petal, burnt sugar and crushed rocks all develop in an exotic, wonderfully nuanced TBA that dazzles from start to finish. Vivid and constantly changing in the glass, the Scheurebe is pure magi.
