Hafner Trocken Beeren Auslese - TBA Chardonnay 1999

The Hafner T.B.A. Essencia 1999 is an exceptional Austrian dessert wine, produced in extremely limited quantities. T.B.A. stands for *Trockenbeerenauslese*, a designation given to wines made from overripe, botrytized grapes, which have been affected by noble rot. This rare wine is intensely sweet and rich, with flavors of honey, dried fruits, apricots, and a touch of citrus zest. It boasts a deep amber color and a complex, balanced acidity that cuts through the sweetness. The 1999 vintage is particularly noted for its long aging potential and remarkable concentration, making it a fine example of Austrian winemaking at its best. Perfect for special occasions, it pairs beautifully with desserts, blue cheeses, or enjoyed on its own.
