The name “Badstube” likely dates back to the Middle Ages. At that time, various hot springs around Bernkastel were used as “baths” and recreational centers. The Bernkasteler Badstube comprises six of the best vineyard sites in Bernkastel: Alte Badstube am Doctorberg, Bratenhöfchen, Doctor, Graben, Lay and Matheisbildchen.

The growing site’s soil features fine slate that stores water extremely well. Very lively and fresh Rieslings grow here with a racy and stable acidity and an extraordinary potential for development.

The wine shows a pronounced bouquet of very ripe red and yellow fruits with exotic and slightly spicy notes with well-integrated acidity. The slatey minerality so typical of the Mosel adds further complexity.

Matches delicate foods excellently. Try this wine with veal, shellfish, roasted poultry or fish.
