WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Kracher Red Roses Beerenauslese 2019 is produced through a process that begins with a late harvest of Rosenmuskateller grapes affected by noble rot in Burgenland's Seewinkel region. The selected grapes are then fermented in oak barrels. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in barriques, with a proportion typically being new French oak, for an extended period, often exceeding 12 months. This meticulous approach to harvesting and maturation is designed to concentrate the natural sugars and flavors of the grapes, resulting in a sweet wine with significant depth and structure.
