Badstube is a huge vineyard, running north to Graacher
Himmelreich. The Thanisch holdings are all at the
Bernkastel end however. Nervy and tightly packed
when tasted, this has an explosive drive, matched blowfor-blow by its impressive volume of pear fruit, tinned
peach and herbs - wonderfully precise

The Thanisch holdings are at the southern Bernkastel end of the large Badstube vineyard. Flinty mineral aromas with lemon rind, showing the cooler aspect of 2020 on the nose. The palate is soft-shelled and giving, the quince, lemon and apple crumble flavours making for an approachable yet multi-faceted, age-worthy wine. The zesty acidity underscores the energy. 8.5% abv.

Pale gold in colour. Flinty and slightly carapaced on the nose, with wet-stone minerality. The palate is super focused, with pure lemon and green citrus fruit on the entry, opening onto peach, orange and nectarine. Nothing showy here, and the sensation is drier and more clipped than you might expect, the high line of taut lemony acidity keeping everything tight and linear. A stunning wine, which lingers tantalisingly. 7.5% abv.

This bears the classic Doctor label, which the estate has used since 1901. Amber-gold in colour. Citrus rind and apricot, with wet-stone mineral notes and slate on the nose. The palate is intense and powerful, with flavours of fresh lime, quince, yellow flowers and slaty minerality. This is all about the flow, in Sofia Thanisch’s words. It just goes on and on, a seemingly endless wine of supreme refinement and nuance.

The Doctor Auslese radiates an amber-gold shimmer. Wet-stone mineral notes and slate greet you on the nose. The palate is surprisingly delicate and precise for what is, after all, the high must-weight flagship of the estate. A deft but insistent sense of mineral-driven weight pervades the palate, complementing the spiced apricot and crystallised lime fruit, through to the long, focused finish.
