The day ended with a couple of glasses of Weingut Dr. Thanisch, Erben Müller-Burggraef wines in the courtyard of DEINHARD‘s hotel, both - the winery and the hotel - owned by Peter Mertes, the largest wine producer in Germany.

Bernkastel-Kues

Bernkastel-Kues lies at the heart of the Mittelmosel ('middle Mosel'), between Graach and Wehlen to the north and Piesport to the west. The Bernkasteler Doctor vineyard is only 3.3 hectares in size but its place in the wine world is legendary.

In the 13th century, the Archbishop of Trier was in this area of the Mosel Valley when he became very ill.  After countless cures did not work, he was served Riesling from this vineyard and was cured.  From then on, it became known as “The Doctor”.

Night-cap: Weingut Dr. Thanisch, Erben Müller-Burggraef, Wines

The day ended with a couple of glasses of wine in the courtyard of the DEINHARD's Hotel, where they had a booth serving wines of Weingut Dr. Thanisch, Erben Müller-Burggraef.

Weingut Dr. H. Thanisch - Erben Mueller-Burggraef 

The wine-growing tradition of the Thanisch family can be traced back more than 350 years. In 1636, the name was mentioned for the first time in the registers of Bernkastel-Kues. The quality of the family’s wines soon extended their excellent reputation far beyond the Mosel valley. At the end of the 18th Century, the Thanischs acquired the Berncasteler Doctor vineyard, a very steep site with deep devon slate structure, situated behind and overlooking the rooftops of the quaint old town of Bernkastel. The Doctor name originates in a legend about Prince Boemond II of Trier who fell sick and then was cured by a wine from this vineyard. Medicinal powers of fine wines are today being re-discovered! The Doctor Vineyard is one of the most famous German sites.

Dr. Hugo Thanish, a Prussian deputy, established the estate ́s international reputation, primarily by the spectacular awards and high prices for his wines at auctions. In 1895 his wife Katharina took the responsibilities of the estate and since then women have been running the business. 

In 1988, the Weingut Dr. H. Thanisch was split up into two parts: Weingut Wwe. Dr. H. Thanisch - Erben Thanisch and Weingut Wwe. Dr. H. Thanisch - Erben Mueller-Burggraef. Margrit Müller-Burggraef, a granddaughter of Dr. Hugo Thanisch, became the owner of Weingut Wwe. Dr. H. Thanisch - Erben Mueller-Burggraef.

In 2007, Margrit Müller-Burggraef passed the estate on to her nice, Barbara Rundquist-Müller. who sold it to the Willkomm family (Peter Mertes) in 2017.
