Weingut Witwe Dr. H. Thanisch, Mosel (Bernkastel-Kues). Estate founded 1636, seven generations of uninterrupted family ownership. The 'Wwe.' (Witwe, widow) in the name recalls Katharina, who took over the estate in 1895 after her husband's death. 100% Riesling from steep black and blue slate slopes of the Middle Mosel, including Kabinett fruit from the Bernkastel Badstube parcel.

'Feinherb' is a voluntary producer designation with no legal definition, used for off-dry wines, here achieved by blending a portion fermented close to dryness with the Kabinett base. Hand-harvested, gently pressed, slow spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel, aged in neutral 1,000-litre Mosel Fuder. Minimal SO₂. Screwcap. ~10% ABV.

El Riesling Feinherb Demi-Sec 2023 es producido por la bodega Wwe. Dr. H. Thanisch, ubicada en Bernkastel-Kues, en la región alemana de la Mosela. El vino procede de la región vinícola del Mosel. La bodega, con historia continua desde 1636, lleva el nombre de "Wwe." (Witwe) en honor a Katharina, quien tomó la dirección en 1895 tras la muerte de su esposo.

El vino está elaborado exclusivamente con Riesling de calidad Kabinett, procedente del pago Bernkastel Badstube. La uva proviene de empinadas laderas con suelos de pizarra negra y azul típicas del Mosel Medio. La elaboración combina la vendimia manual y el prensado suave con una fermentación espontánea en acero inoxidable. Tras la fermentación, la crianza se realiza en fudres de roble neutro de 1.000 litros. La designación "Feinherb" indica un perfil más seco que un Halbtrocken, logrado mediante el ensamblaje de una parte fermentada casi a seco con la base Kabinett. El vino presenta una graduación alcohólica de aproximadamente 10% vol., utiliza un mínimo de SO₂ y se envasa con cierre de rosca.

Se trata de un blanco joven, fruto de una producción familiar que mantiene técnicas tradicionales, enfocado en la expresión del terruño y el equilibrio entre la acidez del Riesling y la ligera dulzura residual característica de su estilo Feinherb.

Learn more about Wwe. Dr. H. Thanisch

The winery's name means, literally, "the widow". Wwe. is the German abbreviation for Witwe, and it refers to Katharina Thanisch: when her husband, Dr Hugo Thanisch, died at forty-two, she took charge of the house at twenty-nine with three small children. The year was 1895. Katharina did not merely keep the estate going: she was a founding member of the VDP, the association of Germany's leading growers.

That was not an exception but the start of a habit. Since then the house has been led by women across five generations, an uncommon case in German wine.

The family has made wine in Bernkastel since 1636, in the middle of the Thirty Years' War, which makes it one of the oldest continuously family-held estates on the Mosel. Its most celebrated parcel is the Bernkasteler Doctor, which has been in the family for two hundred years and has passed through more than seven generations.
