The 2006 Mr. K. The Nobleman Chardonnay (200 grams of residual sugar per liter) reveals phenomenal fresh lively acidity as well as wonderful honeyed peach marmalade tropical fruit and creme brulee characteristics. It is a Trockenbeerenauslese-styled wine that is a fitting tribute to the effusive and much revered Alois Kracher.The final wines to be bottled under the "Mr. K." moniker include the 2006 The Nobleman and 2006 The Strawman. As some readers may know this partnership between the famed Austrian Alois Kracher and Manfred Krankl has finally come to an end because of the tragic death of Alois Kracher who fell victim to pancreatic cancer at age 49. The Mr. K. offerings have been remarkable wines that showcased the talents of both of these great winemakers.
