Description

The Riesling Grosse Gewachs 2022 from Weingut Dr. Thanisch, hailing from the prestigious Bernkasteler Doctor region, represents an extraordinary example of how terroir profoundly influences the characteristics of a wine. Characterized by a "Trocken" vinification, meaning completely dry, this Riesling best expresses its varietal typicality accompanied by a fresh acidity.

On the nose, the Riesling Grosse Gewachs 2022 reveals complex aromatic notes of stone fruits, such as peach and apricot, mixed with accents of wet minerals and a subtle hint of candied lemon that adds an intriguing touch of freshness. On the palate, it stands out for its vigorous freshness and well-balanced structure, culminating in a long and persistently mineral finish.

Perfect to enjoy on its own as an aperitif, this elegant Riesling also pairs magnificently with refined fish dishes, sushi, and spicy Asian cuisine, showcasing its versatility and refined palate. A wine that testifies to its unique microclimate and the mastery of the Dr. Thanisch winery in creating wines of excellent quality and distinction.

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.
