ABOUT THIS WINE
This wine is crafted by Weingut Thanisch, based in the village of Lieser on the Middle Mosel, managed by winemaker Jörg Thanisch. This estate is entirely separate from the VDP estate Weingut Wwe. Dr. H. Thanisch in Bernkastel-Kues, though both share deep historical roots. The signature home vineyard, Lieser Niederberg Helden, is a dramatic, steep-slope site. The Thanisch family's winemaking history in Lieser dates back to 1648, and today they combine historical 17th-century vaulted stone cellars with a modern glass-fronted tasting room overlooking the Mosel.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are grown using sustainable, near-natural farming practices without synthetic pesticides. Due to the extreme 60% to 75% gradient of the Lieser Niederberg Helden vineyard, all viticulture and harvesting are executed entirely by hand. In the cellar, the winemaking process is minimalist, utilizing slow gravity clarification and spontaneous fermentation with wild, native yeasts to preserve the pure, slate-driven terroir. The dry Riesling is aged in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to maintain pristine fruit focus and crispness.
