Trockenbeerenauslese No. 6 Grande Cuvée Nouvelle Vague 2004 Kracher

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (95)

The 2015 Trockenbeerenauslese No 6 "Grande Cuvée" Nouvelle Vague is a blend of barrel-fermented Chardonnay (70%) and Welschriesling (30%) that was aged in a 1,000-liter oak vat, both parts for 18 months. The wine offers a very clear, precise, fresh, intense and really distinctive bouquet with aromas of stewed quinces and lemons. On the palate, this is a highly delicate and perfectly balanced TBA with great finesse and purity (despite its high concentration). The acidity is very fine and persistently salty, and if there are any tannins, these are very fine too. A great elegant, finessed, beautifully balanced TBA.
