The history of Weingut Wwe. Dr. H Thanisch, Erben Thanisch is extraordinary, dating back to 1636. It is currently overseen by Sofia Thanisch, representing the 11th generation and the fourth woman to manage the estate. The name of the vineyard, Bernkasteler Badstube,is indeed named after historic communal bathhouses-public bathing being imported as an idea by returning crusaders. The soil here, fine slate, makes for wines with racy acidity and great potential. This Bernkasteler Graben Grosse Gewächse lies next to the celebrated Doctor vineyard is, very fashionably, dry.
"Bernkasteler Graben lies next door to the Doctor vineyard. A beautifully inviting nose of green citrus, apricot and white flowers emerges coyly from its shell but once out, revels in its loveliness. The palate has a marked sense of dry extract, slaty minerality and a brooding power which is just biding its time. There is intensity borne of an unusually warm season"

Germany produces some of the world’s very finest white wines, presenting natural, grapey richness complemented by racy acidity. A really fine example sets off a roller coaster of emotion akin to a skilfully played piece of music.
