Very prestigious terroir - only about 8 acres in total—super small and rare.
The Bernkasteler Doctor vineyard dates back to the 14th century. According to legend, the Archbishop of Trier was seriously ill and none of his doctors could cure him. A local winemaker brought him some wine from this steep vineyard, and—miraculously—the Archbishop recovered. He supposedly proclaimed the vineyard his “doctor,” and the name stuck.
2020 Wwe. Dr. H. Thanisch Riesling Mosel Bernkasteler Doctor Kabinett...$39.99
Archetypal Mosel Kabinett with finesse that makes it stand out in this category. Wonderful, ripe honeydew-melon and jasmine nose with a flinty touch. So much fruit and wet-stone minerality is packed into this sleek silhouette and the wine balances on the point of a needle, the delicate touch of sweetness counterpointing exactly the spring-like freshness. Drink or hold.
Rated 95/100 James Suckling
This wine can easily aged 20 plus years! Grab some for your cellar
