Wwe Dr. H. Thanisch Bernkasteler Graben Riesling Grosses Gewachs 2023

100% Riesling

The vineyard Bernkasteler Graben is right next to the famous Berncasteler Doctor. Like in the Doctor the vines of this vineyard grow on very steep south pointing Devon slate soil in the picturesque Moselle valley.  Grown on old (20-40 years) and partly non-grafted rootstocks.  

Light straw yellow color with greenish reflections.  The nose is characterized by fine herbs, peaches, pears, apples and citrus fruits. On the palate, the wine is profound, juicy and straightforward with aromas of ripe yellow and green fruits, herbal and floral tones, mouthwatering acidity, pronounced slate minerality and a polished, elegant and a firmly grasping finish.  12% ABV
