2006 Dr. Heidemanns-Bergweiler Bernkasteler alte Badstube am Doctorberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 375 ml

The Doctorberg is the prime vineyard of Dr. Heidemanns-Bergweiler. It is only 4 acres in size and it is held to 100% in the hands of the family. The stony blue-grey clay slate is a residual soil having a very good heat-storing potential, which makes it possible to produce quality grapes for high-end wines. The high proportion of blue slate gives the wine a high content of minerals and finesse. Because of the partly more than 70year old vines the yield is very low. Be patient! Don’t open it too early. This type of wine can age for many decades.
