About the Wine
The wine-growing tradition of the Dr. Hugo Thanisch family can be traced back more than 350 years. In 1636, the name was mentioned for the first time in the registers of Bernkastel-Kues. The quality of the family’s wines soon extended their excellent reputation far beyond the Mosel valley.
At the end of the 18th Century, the Thanisch’s acquired the Berncasteler Doctor vineyard, a very steep site with a deep devon slate structure, situated behind and overlooking the rooftops of the quaint old town of Bernkastel. The Doctor's name originates in a legend about Prince Boemond II of Trier who fell sick and then was cured by a wine from this vineyard. The medicinal powers of fine wines are today being rediscovered! Without a doubt, the Doctor Vineyard is the most valuable and famous German site.
The Thanisch estate includes over 30 acres of vineyards located on the best sites of “the best place for Riesling in the world” a.k.a Mosel Valley. Mosel is, in Wine Spectator’s words “one of the most striking wine regions on Earth.”
This wine comes from Badstube, the Bernkasteler Badstube comprises six of the best vineyard sites in Bernkastel. The growing site’s soil features a fine slate that stores water extremely well. Very lively and fresh Rieslings grow here with racy and stable acidity and extraordinary potential for development.

Critical Reviews
Although this is still quite closed, there’s no doubting the greatness of this Riesling Kabinett. Terrific concentration and precision on the very focused, light-bodied palate. With aeration the stone fruit, honeysuckle and wild herb aromas develop beautifully. Extremely long, silky finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. ~96 James Suckling
The 2023 Riesling Berncasteler Doctor Kabinett combines notes of crushed yarrow, grapefruit peel, aromatic stone fruit and a touch of boxwood. The palate is rich with green-yellow fruit notions that unite citrus, pale peach, creaminess and springy moss. It has an exquisite lightness filled with flavor, edged by lovely, aromatic zestiness. Purity and freshness are alive in this wine. ~ 94 Vinous Media
