Witwe Dr. H. Thanisch - Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Auslese 1933 - 0,7 l

Witwe Dr. H. Thanisch Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Auslese 1933 is a remarkably rare bottle from one of the Mosel’s most celebrated vineyard sites. With its distinguished vintage and sweet Auslese style, it offers a unique opportunity to experience a piece of German wine history in liquid form.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep golden hue, reflecting its considerable age and long development in bottle. Its mature bouquet is rich and expressive, with aromas of ripe peach, apricot and honey, complemented by the complex nuances that emerge in a well-preserved, historic Riesling. On the palate, it is full-bodied and sweet, with the natural acidity providing balance and keeping the wine lively despite its age. The finish is long, smooth and lingering. As a wine from 1933, it is best appreciated as a mature collector’s bottle; its condition and remaining potential will depend greatly on storage and provenance.

Production
As an Auslese, this Riesling was made from a selection of particularly ripe, high-quality grapes from the Mosel region. The exact harvesting and vinification details for this historic bottle are not available, but the wine reflects the classic Mosel tradition of balancing concentrated sweetness with vibrant Riesling acidity. The Berncasteler Doctor vineyard is renowned for producing wines of elegance, intensity and exceptional longevity.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C, allowing the wine time to open gently in the glass. Its sweetness and mature fruit character make it a natural match for refined desserts, fruit-based pastries and foie gras, while its acidity also complements rich, aged cheeses. Decanting is not essential and may be risky for such an old wine; instead, open it carefully and consider pouring it slowly off any sediment shortly before serving.

Producer
Witwe Dr. H. Thanisch is a historic Mosel producer associated with the prestigious vineyards around Bernkastel, including the renowned Berncasteler Doctor. The estate’s wines are particularly valued for their elegance, balance and ability to mature over many decades. This 1933 Auslese, presented in a limited and individually numbered bottle, is a rare example of the region’s enduring reputation for age-worthy Riesling.
