Dr H Thanisch Riesling QbA Feinherb 2023
Vintage Character
The 2023 Riesling QbA Feinherb is a gently off-dry Mosel wine from a season that tested timing. After dry June heat, substantial rain from late July swelled the grapes quickly, and unusually warm September nights sped up sugar development and compressed the harvest. The German Wine Institute records extensive sorting to secure sound Riesling, along with a generally good relationship between acidity and sweetness. For a feinherb wine those conditions explain the appeal of fruit with a mild sweetness held in check by freshness. Its 2023 character is ripeness combined with agility, at a gentle 11% alcohol.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Lime, crisp apple and juicy pear lead the nose, with soft white peach behind them and a touch of slate. The palate sits between the estate's dry Trocken wines and its richly sweet Auslese: easy fruit, perceptible but not dominating sweetness, and enough Riesling acidity to keep the finish lively. Feinherb is a useful dining style because it softens gentle spice without becoming a dessert wine. Try it with ginger-steamed fish, roast pork or a chicken salad dressed with citrus. A light chill emphasises its clean line, while a little air brings out its fuller orchard-fruit side. Its charm is balance rather than force.
Winery Background
Witwe Dr. H. Thanisch Erben Müller-Burggraef has cultivated Mosel Riesling for more than 375 years. Its portfolio stretches from vineyard-designated Doctor and Lay wines to broader regional expressions like this QbA, and the estate emphasises steep sites and a great deal of manual work. Maximilian Ferger is the winemaker, and the historic rock-cut cellar beneath the Doctor vineyard remains a distinctive part of the house. This wine carries the broader Mosel designation rather than a named vineyard, and the feinherb style gives a graceful middle ground between crisp dryness and dessert-wine sweetness.
