About Dr. H. Thanisch 2021 Bernkastler Badstube Riesling Kabinett
The name “Badstube” likely dates back to the Middle Ages. At that time, various hot springs around Bernkastel were used as “baths” and recreational centers. The Bernkasteler Badstube comprises six of the best vineyard sites in Bernkastel: Alte Badstube am Doctorberg, Bratenhöfchen, Doctor, Graben, Lay and Matheisbildchen.
The growing site’s soil features fine slate that stores water extremely well. Very lively and fresh Rieslings grow here with a racy and stable acidity and an extraordinary potential for development.
The wine shows a pronounced bouquet of very ripe red and yellow fruits with exotic and slightly spicy notes with well-integrated acidity. The slatey minerality so typical of the Mosel adds further complexity.
Matches delicate foods excellently. Try this wine with veal, shellfish, roasted poultry or fish.
James Suckling scored this 92 points saying "An attractive Mosel Kabinett with expressive, stony slate character and effusive floral and lemon-zest aromas. Sleek body with beautifully integrated acidity and a long, very clean wet-stone finish. Drink or hold."
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate scored this 90 points saying "The 2021 Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Kabinett is clear and fine yet still discreet in its aromas on the elegant and flinty/slatey nose. Sweet and round yet elegant and refined on the palate, this is a light but lush Badstube Kabinett with fine grip, charming texture and a crystalline and saline finish. 7.5% stated alcohol combined with 55.7 grams per liter of residual sugar."
