2013 Alois Kracher Grande Cuvée TBA #6 NV

The 2013 Grande Cuvée Trockenbeerenauslese No 6 Nouvelle Vague is a blend of 60% Chardonnay (fermented and aged in new barriques) and 40% Welschriesling (1,000 Slavonian oak barrel). This TBA is highly intense and concentrated on the palate, as well as sweet and aromatic. It is clearly dominated by Welschriesling at the moment, but the new oak of the Chardonnay gives it a great structure and spicy dimension that you can't find in the Nummer 3 Welschriesling TBA.
