Weingut

Das Weingut Thanisch befindet sich derzeit in den Händen von Sophia Thanisch, die die Tradition des Weinbaus seit elf Familiengenerationen fortführt. Der Schwerpunkt liegt ausschließlich auf Riesling aus Bernkasteler Weinbergen. Einige der Reben sind noch originale, unverpfropfte Unterlagsreben, was ihre große Begeisterung auf den Weinkarten berühmter Restaurants in aller Welt erklärt.

Jahrgangsbericht

The year 2016 started off with wet and cool weather conditions which did not change until June. The months of July, August and September brought warm and dry weather resulting in a dynamic growth of vegetation and grapes. On October 11th, we finally started harvest with most days dry, so picking was possible without interruption. At the end of November, the temperatures dropped down to -9° C (15.8° F) and in the Berncasteler Doctor vineyard, Eiswein with 130° Oechsle could be harvested!
