Dr. H. Thanisch – Erben Thanisch

The viticultural tradition of the Wwe. Dr. H. Thanisch - Erben Thanisch estate can be traced back to 1636. It was named after the widow, Katharina Thanisch, who established the grand tradition and reputation of the property, which has been under female leadership ever since. Sofia Thanisch is the estate’s current director, who is one very classy lady and part owner of the world renowned “Doctor” vineyard that has the distinction of being valued as the highest unit price per acre of any agricultural land in Germany. Sofia Thanisch and her operating manager, Olaf Kaufmann, have been assisted by 32-years-old Christina Thanisch for a year now. Through the tasting of a series of very good and some great Mosel Rieslings, of which the 2019 Prädikatsweine, from Kabinett up to Beerenauslese, are the most impressive ones. Among the few dry wines, the 2019 Berncasteler Doctor GG is outstanding and a highlight of a collection that includes more sweet than dry wines by far. The barrel-fermented 2019 Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Spätlese “Cuvée Christina” is a new entry initiated by the new generation.
