    Producer

    The vineyard of domaine Kracher stretches across the gentle slopes surrounding Lake Neusiedl, benefiting from an optimal microclimate. The soils are varied, a blend of clay and limestone, which imparts a distinctive minerality to the grapes. The proximity of the lake plays a crucial role, creating ambient humidity that encourages the development of noble rot, essential for late-harvest wines. Each plot is cultivated with care, respecting natural cycles to produce healthy, ripe grapes bursting with aromas.

    Owner and history

    Today, the domaine is run by the second generation, with his son, Gerhard Kracher, at the helm. He has successfully perpetuated the family legacy while adding a touch of modernity. Gerhard is passionate about exploring terroirs and innovating in winemaking, while remaining true to the traditions that have made Kracher famous. Under his leadership, the domaine continues to produce wines that delight the palate and celebrate the diversity of the Burgenland terroir.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at domaine Kracher is a meticulous process that begins with a rigorous selection of grapes, often hand-picked during late harvests. The grapes are gently pressed to preserve their aromas, then fermented in stainless steel tanks for better temperature control. Aging takes place in oak barrels, adding complexity and structure while respecting the wine's identity. domaine favours artisanal methods, ensuring that each bottle reflects the passion and know-how of the Kracher family.

    The team's opinion

    This is the pinnacle of Austrian viticulture. Alois Kracher (and now his son Gerhard) has literally put the Burgenland region on the world map of sweet wines, alongside the greatest Sauternes or Tokaji.
