Berncasteler Doctor

The legendary Berncasteler Doctor vineyard is located behind the village 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 80 year old wines, full-bodied, spicy wines are grown here. The South-South-West orientation of the vineyard guarantees optimal sunshine throughout most of the day.

The Riesling wines from the Berncasteler Doctor are among the most  famous and noble white wines in the world.

2009 Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Kabinett

Wine Description
Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Kabinett, Weingut Witwe Dr. H. Thanisch, Erben Müller-Burggraef. Medium intensity of lemony yellow colour. Pronounced aroma of vineyard peaches. Comes across as very sweet on the palate, fresh and luscious with generous peach flavour. Very pleasant and just tempting to drink  indiscriminately, but as well as an enourmous potential for maturing in the bottle.   

Food Affinities
Great with seafood and fish. Also try with sushi…        
Excellent partner in combination with Asian cuisine.       
          

Alc.: 9,5%  |  Rs.: 61,2 g/L  |  Ac.: 7,3 g/L

2008 Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Spätlese

Wine Description
The bouquet of this wine shows lychees, quince and peaches. The incredible depth and density of this Spätlese is enhanced by a lively acidity and a pronounced slatey minerality. Herbal notes provide a pleasant spice character supported by a hint of coffee and a touch of saltiness in the finish, typical of the Doctor vineyard site.           

Food Affinities
This wine is a noble partner to the finest cuisine - lobster in beurre blanc, veal with a light cream sauce or delicate desserts - from exquisite fruit tarts to apple charlotte.     

Alc.: 9,0%  /  RS.: 64,3 g/L  /  Ac.: 8,0 g/L
