Product notes
The Moselle valley is characterized by specific geological, topographic, and microclimatic interaction. The grapes for our White Thanisch were harvested in 4 of the best single vineyards in the Mosel Valley: the Bernkasteler Graben, Bernkasteler Lay, Bernkasteler Badstube and last not least the Berncasteler Doctor.
Production notes
This very limited Riesling (only 280 bottles produced) shows a rich golden color, Aromas of herbs, damp forest soil, grapefruit and brioche. A touch of wood with well-integrated tannins.
Tasting notes
Great with a mushroom Risotto, Beef Carpaccio, smoked fish or a Dorade in a salt crust.
