At the beginning, the Doctor is smoky, spicy, and playful. On the palate you will find ripe wild berries and dried fruit highlighted by a perfectly balanced acidity and wonderful minerality. This wine pairs well with seafood, sushi, and food that is a bit spicy.
The legendary Berncasteler Doctor vineyard is located behind the village Bernkastel and is one of the most famous vineyards in Germany. Planted with up to 80 year old wines, full-bodied, spicy wines are grown here. The Riesling wines from the Berncasteler Doctor are among the most famous and noble white wines in the world. The 2008 Kabinett is still a bit closed on the nose (Dec. 2009). As soon as it does open up, the variety of aromas is almost overwhelming. It is underlined by a lively acidity and minerality so typical of the Doctor vineyard site. It is an extremely complex wine with tremendous aging potential. Not only great with lobster, scallops and other seafood, but also a great companion to the spices used in the modern American fusion dishes.
