The white pepper and apricot-scented 1999 #8 Welschriesling Zwischen Den Seen Trockenbeerenauslese is a rich, concentrated behemoth. Pepper-laced white and yellow fruits can be found in this oily wine's character. It is powerful, deep, and possesses an exceedingly long finish. Anticipated maturity: Now-2035+.

Terrific dessert wine, combining the intensity of truffle, mint, dried apricot and citrus peel with a racy structure and great harmony. It melds beautifully on the long, long finish. Drink now through 2015. 650 cases made. (BS)

| Description | ||
| At tastings all over the world, wine journalists keep on singing praises. Stuart Pigott, the British wine writer living in Germany, was already raving in 1996 in the Los Angeles Times about “the full ripe flavours, silky richness and great elegance” of Kracher wines. Then Bruce Sanderson wrote in the Wine Spectator: "Kracher´s range of 2000s – they are stunning wines that combine lushness, power and botrytis character.” Roger Voss reported in the Wine Enthusiast that “A tasting at the Kracher winery will leave you well out of superlatives.” And Ray Isle wrote in Food & Wine magazine that the Kracher wines “are some of the best dessert wines I ever tasted". |
