Jean Fisch und David Rayer, Publisher of Mosel Fine Wines:<\/h3>
\"The Thanisch family succeeded in producing splendid wines in 2024, \ncombining finesse, elegance, and intensity. The simple Riesling Trocken \nis already a great success, and the GGs have gained even more precision \nand clarity. The Lay Kabinett (Cuv\u00e9e Christina) is particularly bright \nand splendid. As for the Sp\u00e4tlese, they are simply superb, with the \nDoctor No. 8 at the top of the range. 2024 was a perfect fit for the \nThanisch style, and they really took advantage of it!.\"<\/i><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
Our 2024 Bernkasteler LAY Riesling Kabinett performed well at the Mosel Cup 2025, receiving 94.8 points.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\u201cWe have been recommending the wines of Sofia Thanisch and her team since the first edition. They are classic Moselle Rieslings that do not focus on opulence and alcohol, but on precision and elegance. This applies dry as well as sweet.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
Stuart Pigott, one of the most internationally renowned wine journalists about our winery:<\/h3>
\u201cUnder Sofia Thanisch, the estate has firmly occupied a stylistic niche. Together with vineyard manager Olaf Kaufmann, she consistently focuses on elegance and a delicate interplay of fruit sweetness and acidity. \u2026 The wines from the Doctor in particular have delicate, exotic fruit notes and a restrained creaminess. Nevertheless, they are slender Moselle beauties that never taste lushly sweet. The dry wines from the Doctor turn out similarly filigree.\u201d
<\/i>On the 375th anniversary of our winery, Stuart Pigott wrote in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung on 24\/6\/2012:<\/b>
\u201cThe quality of the house has never been more convincing.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
Bruce Sanderson, the well-known journalist from the US magazine \u201cWine Spectator\u201d wrote after a rarity wine tasting with wines from our Berncasteler Doctor:<\/h3>
\u201cIt is incredible how well these Doctor wines present themselves after so many years? Even though the Berncasteler Doctor is a sensational vineyard and already shows its qualities in young wines, they only really come into their own when they are 60 or 70 years old. Then it becomes obvious what a fantastic provenance they have.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

John Gilman, editor of the Wine Newsletters \u201cView from the Cellar\u201d from New York:<\/h3>
\u201cThe 2018ers from Weingut Wwe. Dr. Thanisch Erben Thanisch are some of the richer, more opulently-styled wines of the vintage. They are very successful in their idiom, but it is clear that Sofia Thanisch and her team were after a different expression of the 2018 vintage than some of their neighbors.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
Three red grapes In Gault&Millau 2021: \u201cvery good winery\u201d<\/h3>
\"The Riesling, nothing else is grown here, belong to the best Mosel wines and the wines from Bernkastel's grand cru vineyards present themselves year after year in all categories exceptionally clear and fine.\"<\/i><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\u201cThis long-established and renowned winery in Bernkastel-Kues has written Moselle wine history. With the Doctor vineyard, Sofia Thanisch has parts of one of the world\u2019s most famous vineyards, an exposed vineyard that produces top Rieslings. This year, we also liked the wonderfully estate wines, which are a good introduction to the great collection. If you are looking for Riesling of remarkable clarity and precise fruit with a lean body, this is the vintage for you in 2020.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
