95pts James Suckling

Archetypal Mosel Kabinett with finesse that makes it stand out in this category. Wonderful, ripe honeydew-melon and jasmine nose with a flinty touch. So much fruit and wet-stone minerality is packed into this sleek silhouette and the wine balances on the point of a needle, the delicate touch of sweetness counterpointing exactly the spring-like freshness. Drink or hold.

93pts Wine Enthusiast - Editor's Choice

Silken on the palate yet backed by an electric spine of acidity, this elevated off-dry Riesling offers rich, ripe streaks of sweet white melon, peach and pear. Penetrating with fresh, primary fruit and struck by stone and steel, it's a complex, hedonistic sip that's irresistible young but likely to improve through 2035 and hold further. 

Tasting Notes

It is underlined by a lively acidity and minerality so typical of the Doctor vineyard site. It is an extremely complex wine with a tremendous aging potential. Carries an aroma of hot stones, with dark currant and nectarine flavors supported by a lively acidity. This is rich and juicy on the finish, offering notes of white chocolate and spice.

Vineyard Notes

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 agrillaceous schist. Planted with up to 80 year old vines, full-bodied spicy wines are grown here. The South-South-West orientation of the vineyards guarantees optimal sunshine throughout most of the day.
