Weingut Wwe. Dr. H. Thanisch - Erben Müller-Burggraef, Bernkastel-Kues 2021 Riesling Bernkasteler Doctor GG trocken. 2021

Pronounced flinty minerality in the bouquet. Very complex with aromas of yellow stonefruit and citrus. Full-bodied, but at the moment still very young and closed, it already shows its great potential and ageing capability.

The legendary Berncasteler Doctor vineyard is located behind the village of Bernkastel and is one of the most famous vineyards in Germany. This 100% steep site with a South-South West orientation consists of medium deep, stony loamy weathered argillaceous schist. Planted with up to 100-year-old vines, full-bodied, spicy wines are grown here. The South-South-West orientation of the vineyard guarantees optimal sunshine throughout most of the day.

handpicked and carefully selected 3 times....

The grapes have been handpicked and carefully selected in the various areas of the vineyard. They were only slightly squeezed and then left for 14 hours to macerate before being gently pressed. The wine has been fermented without any addition of cultured yeast or enzymes for a period of four till five months. After the fermentation was completed, it was left to mature for several more months on the lees in order to gain more stability and complexity.

This wine has been bottled on the 27th of July 2022
