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

March was wet but warm and we had an early bud break. In May some rather cold and frosty days caused late flowering. The summer was very hot and dry and towards the end of July heavy rainfalls followed by cool days in September. Harvest started on September 30th with almost daily rain. A strict selection was necessary which resulted in a 30% less crop than last year but with high quality grapes and an appealing acidity.
