Winery Weingut Wwe. Dr. H. Thanisch (Erben Thanisch)

The Thanisch family has been documented in Moselle viticulture since the 17th century; the official site indicates the first records date back to 1636 and a generational continuity that reaches to the present day. Villa Thanisch, the estate’s headquarters, was built in 1884. The brand consolidated its reputation between the 19th and 20th centuries, with wines featured on restaurant wine lists and in royal households; the historic relationship with the great local vineyards, in particular Berncasteler Doctor, is a central part of the estate’s story. The estate is also mentioned as a founding member of the VDP.

Focus on quality and respect for tradition: the estate prioritizes vineyard care and expression of the terroir, with particular attention to vines on steep slopes and to selective harvesting. Production is centred on Riesling, aiming to represent the characteristics of the area's individual crus.

The estate operates in the Bernkastel-Kues area and owns vineyards in historic sites of the Mittelmosel, with parcels in Bernkastel and vineyards in neighboring municipalities such as Kues, Lieser and Brauneberg. The soils are typically slate and the vineyards are located on the steep slopes characteristic of the Mosel.
