The history of Weingut Wwe. Dr. H Thanisch, Erben Thanisch is extraordinary, dating back to 1636. It is currently overseen by Sofia Thanisch, representing the 11th generation and the fourth woman to manage the estate. The name of the vineyard, Bernkasteler Badstube,is indeed named after historic communal bathhouses-public bathing being imported as an idea by returning crusaders. The soil here, fine slate, makes for wines with racy acidity and great potential.
"An honest, accessible, articulate translation of Riesling. Consumers have become a little puritanical in our approach to ripeness but sometimes, that little extra fruit accentuates and releases the minerality so that feinherb – “off-dry” achieves a lovely balance and a better reflection of fresh acidity. Here we have a plethora of orchard and exotic fruit, apples, pears and melon complemented by delightful floral notes –lovely definition and focus.

Weingut Wwe. Dr. H Thanisch, Erben Thanisch in the heart of Germany's Mosel, dates back to 1636 and is currently overseen by 11th generation Sofia Thanisch.
Germany produces some of the world’s very finest white wines, presenting natural, grapey richness complemented by racy acidity. A really fine example sets off a roller coaster of emotion akin to a skilfully played piece of music.
