Product Highlights

Full Product Description

Dr. H. Thanisch Riesling QbA Feinherb 2023 is a bright and elegant German white wine from the Mosel, one of the world’s most respected regions for Riesling. The Thanisch estate focuses on Riesling from vineyards around Bernkastel in the Mosel, continuing a long family winemaking tradition.

This wine is made from Riesling in a Feinherb style, meaning it sits between dry and noticeably sweet. It offers a fresh, lightly off-dry profile with bright acidity, making it very food-friendly and easy to enjoy. Winesellers notes that Dr. H. Thanisch Feinherb Riesling is picked at Kabinett-level ripeness and fermented into a just dry-off wine, giving it enough freshness for food pairing while keeping the expressive fruit and balance expected from Mosel Riesling.

The wine opens with aromas of citrus, lime, green apple, pear, peach, apricot, white flowers, and wet slate. On the palate, it is lively, clean, and mineral, with crisp acidity balanced by a gentle off-dry fruitiness. Wine.com’s Mosel Riesling notes for Dr. H. Thanisch highlight the region’s marked acidity, low alcohol, purity, citrus, stone fruit, and wet slate character.

This is a great choice for customers looking for a refreshing white wine that can pair well with spicy and savoury dishes. Serve it with sushi, sashimi, Thai food, spicy noodles, seafood, roast pork, chicken, salads, fresh cheese, and light desserts.
