Very good Pinot Blanc given the trocken treatment. More complex than expected with great acidity and medium body and citrus and stone fruits. Very good QPR.

OK, this is the end of an era for me. This wine was how I was introduced to the big Aussi Shiraz. It was made by the Marquis husband / wife duo. And was absurdly big and fruit and smooth. You have to be in the mood and this is not in style any more. But here we are 23 years later and it is still drinking beautifully, giving the big leather and meat vibe. My last bottle. I've tried the more recent vintages (not Marquis) and although good, they are not quite the 'experience'.

A little muted, but still a good trocken wine showing the pinot gris character. One of the further flung Kracher offerings.
