Dr. Thanisch Riesling Feinherb 2023

From the Winemaker:

Sourced from the middle Mosel area, black & blue slate is the predominant structure of these steep hillsides, sloping down to the Mosel river. The terroir is reflected in the wine with that flinty minerality.

Tasting Notes:

Picked early at Kabinett-level Ripeness, grapes from the Mosel vineyards are fermented to a just dry-off wine in order to produce a drier-style Riesling to pair with a wide array of foods or simply drink as an aperitif. This wine is extremely well structured with a deep golden color and powerful but also elegant characteristics: Minerals, peaches, pear cumquat, watermelon, currant grapefruit with a hint of gooseberry and raspberry. It is blended with the Badstube Kabinett from the Dr. H. Thanisch estate to increase the quality and character of the wine but it is not a 100% Estate wine.
