ABOUT THIS WINE
Weingut Thanisch, located in the historic village of Lieser in the Middle Mosel, traces its winemaking roots back to 1648. Since 2001, Jörg Thanisch has managed the family estate alongside his wife Petra and daughter Sophia, cultivating eight hectares of steep-slope vineyards. This estate is distinct from the Bernkastel-based estate of a similar name. While many quality-focused producers reserve estate-grown fruit exclusively for standard bottles, Thanisch utilizes their slate-rich estate vineyards to produce this high-quality dry Riesling in a generous 1-liter format, offering an authentic taste of the Mosel for everyday enjoyment.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are selectively harvested by hand from steep-slope vineyards surrounding Lieser. Following a gentle crushing process, the must is settled slowly to clarify naturally without heavy fining agents. Fermentation takes place at controlled cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh primary fruit esters and varietal characteristics of Riesling. The wine is then aged on its fine lees in stainless steel for several months to build structural balance and subtle complexity before being bottled under a Stelvin screw cap.
