Description

The Riesling Spatlese from Weingut Dr. Thanisch originates from the unmistakable Bernkasteler Doctor vineyard, renowned for its slate soils that impart a distinctive minerality to the wine. The Auction cuvée epitomizes excellence in selection, reserved only for bottles of exceptional quality produced in limited quantities.

The wine presents itself with a brilliant golden yellow color, immediately hinting at its complexity and depth. On the nose, it is a triumph of aromas; notes of white-fleshed fruit such as peach and pear meld with delicate hints of honey and flowers, with an underlying mineral complexity that brings freshness.

On the palate, the Riesling Spatlese is rich and structured, with a perfect balance between crisp acidity and delicate sweetness. The aromatic persistence is long, leaving a pleasant sensation of fruit purity and intensity.

This wine is a superb exemplification of how the terroir of Bernkasteler Doctor can express itself through the Riesling grape, making it suitable for special occasions or an evening of contemplation. It can be enjoyed now, but also has great aging potential. Ideal to pair with refined fish dishes or spicy Asian cuisine.

Winery history

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.

Production philosophy

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.

Terroir and vineyards

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.
