Hailing from the steep, Devonian slate slopes of Bernkastel’s Doctor vineyard in the Mosel, this Auslese is meticulously hand-picked and aged in the centuries-old rock cellar chosen by Sofia Thanisch, 11th-generation custodian of the estate. The nose glimmers with grapefruit, vineyard peach, and smoky slate; the palate is both juicy and poised, delivering a streak of mineral-charged elegance and an impressively long, energetic finish. Awarded 92 points by Wine-Searcher and confidently rated 96 points by James Suckling (2023), this sweet Riesling balances richness with precision – an exquisite example of Alpine-cliff cool refined into bottle.
