Thanisch Riesling Trocken
WHY WE LOVE IT
- This Riesling comes from the steep slopes surrounding the picturesque towns of Bernkastel and Kues in the middle Mosel.
- The grapes are hand harvested and the wine aged in stainless steel.
Varietal Composition: 100% Riesling
Elaboration: Manual labor is necessary all year round from the cultivation of the vines to harvest. The valuable combination of steep slopes, soil characteristics and climate presents our vines with the best possible conditions for development.
Tasting Notes: Perfumed and lemony fresh, this dry style Riesling has great precision. Ripe apricot and peach notes combined with aromas of meadow flowers exude from the glass. There is a purity to the crisp and concentrated palate and the lingering finish grips with slate minerality.
