The Thanisch family has cultivated wine continuously since the year 1636 and can look back on a history covering more than 375 years. The estate has been run as a family business for 11 generations!.
The boutique estate is 7 ha (16 acres) in size, including the most famous vineyard in Germany, the Berncasteler Doctor and the top vineyards Bernkasteler Badstube, Bernkasteler Lay and Bernkasteler Graben. All of the vineyards are planted with 100% Riesling vines, most of which are mature and on original rootstocks.
Wwe. Dr H Thanisch now sits alongside other great Mosel producers such as J.J Prüm, Egon Müller & Markus Molitor.
Light to mid-yellow colour, and a reductive smoky nose at first, joined by rich honeyed floral and fruit aromas, the richness of the wine undercut by bright acidity and the finish clean and refreshing. The aftertaste is very long and the acidity mouthwatering. A gorgeous wine. (75 g/l sweetness). Drink 2020-2035
