Parker über: Trockenbeerenauslese Grande Cuvée No. 3 Nouvelle Vague

-- Parker: The 2022 Trockenbeerenauslese No 3 Grande Cuvée Nouvelle Vague is a deep, complex, very elegant and refined, saline blend of Welschriesling and Chardonnay vinified in barriques for 30 months. Lemon rind and chutney aromas intermingle with oak, vanilla and bright toast aromas. The wine is generous and rich yet highly refined and elegant on the palate, provided with concentrated and sweet fruit, very fine tannins and this saline and crystalline acidity that is so delicate that it takes this sweet wine on its wings toward heaven. Due to its balance, this is an irresistible though pretty sweet TBA that I would thus cellar for another decade to benefit from all its complexity without being detracted from its now prominent sweetness. 10% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in Illmitz in June 2025.

Colin Hay über: Trockenbeerenauslese Grande Cuvée No. 3 Nouvelle Vague

-- Colin Hay: The saline minerality immediately evident aromatically. This is more complex that the other cuvées and more evidently a wine of assemblage. That glorious slightly grilled, slightly charred pineapple note. Lime zest. Salted peanut brittle, again. Wild field honey. Pear. Peach belle Helene. Confit and fresh ginger. Toffee apple. Lanolin. On the palate this is not quite as viscous as it sometimes is, but that somehow gives more space for the fresh fruits to present themselves. It’s a little like the most wonderful fruit cocktail in a rich slightly burnt caramel syrup – one encounters the fresh and acidic fruits from a sea of richer, fuller and sweeter notes. Fresh pineapple with aeration in the mouth, and a little sesame seed. Great tension, as that implies, an impressive amplitude too and a kind of calm tranquillity despite the profound sense of energy and vibrancy. A little hint of coconut on the finish and ginger ale in the empty glass.

Decanter über: Trockenbeerenauslese Grande Cuvée No. 3 Nouvelle Vague

-- Decanter: Green apple, pear and pineapple, a little more subdued than the other two so far, even though it has pronounced sweetness. That said, this is lighter and more easy going, easier to drink perhaps or more versatile, but still with a silkiness and depth that is so remarkable with freshness and purity despite the sugariness. Gorgeous, peach and pear, creamy lemon, some vanilla and lemon verbena with wisps of sea salt acidity. Divine. 181.7g/l residual sugar. One of five wines in the line up, from the outstanding 2022 vintage, entering the Place de Bordeaux this September. Director and winemaker Gerhard Kracher.

Falstaff über: Trockenbeerenauslese Grande Cuvée No. 3 Nouvelle Vague

-- Falstaff: Leuchtendes Goldgelb, Silberreflexe. Feine Holzwürze, zart nach weißem Nougat, Kumquats und Mandarinenzesten klingen an, feiner Blütenhonig, facettenreiches Bukett. Saftig, elegant, seidige Textur, weiße Schokolade, finessenreich strukturiert, zitroniger Touch im Abgang, bereits gut entwickelt, balanciert und mit einigem Reifepotenzial ausgestattet.
