The estate has a long tradition, dating back to 1636. Sofia Thanisch, currently at the helm represents the eleventh generation of this remarkable family. She is the fourth woman overseeing the estate. The 100% Riesling vineyards are ungrafted, the wines fermented traditionally in stainless steel, with indigenous yeasts, all to produce an enticing marriage of very pure fruit and slate minerality. The Estate Riesling has the house hallmark of freshness and elegance
"The Estate Riesling comes mainly from vineyards around Kues, on the left bank of the Mosel. This hits the ground running – and does so while exuding that soft-shelled Mosel loveliness and clipped lemony precision. You can sense the warm 2018 summer here, in the ripe, ample
apricot fruit. Drink this as soon as you get your hands on it. Although it will mellow and meld with bottle age - why wait when it is so good now"

Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Kabinett Dr H Thanisch (Thanisch) 2017
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.
