2009 Velich Welschriesling Trockenbeerenauslese Half Bottle (375ml)

The 2009 Velich Welschriesling Trockenbeerenauslese Half Bottle (375ml) is an exceptional sweet wine from Burgenland, Austria, produced by the acclaimed Velich estate. Crafted from individually selected botrytised berries, this Trockenbeerenauslese displays remarkable concentration and complexity, with aromas of dried apricot, orange marmalade, honey, candied citrus and delicate floral notes.

On the palate, it is intensely rich yet beautifully balanced, with vibrant acidity providing freshness and precision. Layers of honeyed stone fruit, citrus preserve and dried tropical fruit unfold across a luscious texture, leading to an extraordinarily long finish marked by purity and finesse.

Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a rare and highly collectible dessert wine that showcases the extraordinary ageing potential of great Austrian sweet wines. Enjoy now or cellar for decades as further complexity develops. The half bottle format is ideal for special occasions and fine dining. Pairs beautifully with blue cheese, foie gras, fruit tarts, crème brûlée and rich pâtés.
