Dr. Pauly-Bergweiler Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Kabinett

Dr. Pauly-Bergweiler Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Kabinett 2022
This classic Mosel Kabinett is bright, graceful, and wonderfully expressive, opening with spiced peach, dried apple, red grapefruit, lilac, and green apple, all carried by a fine mineral edge. On the palate, it is lively and beautifully balanced, with delicate sweetness, fresh acidity, and a focused, energetic finish.

Key Details:

Producer: Dr. Pauly-Bergweiler — a historic family-owned Mosel estate with roots dating back to the 16th century. The winery farms vineyards across the Middle Mosel and is especially known for steep, slate-rich sites that give its Rieslings their lift, minerality, and classic regional character. 

Region / Appellation: Bernkasteler Badstube, Mosel, Germany. Bernkasteler Badstube is one of the estate’s key vineyard areas around Bernkastel; merchant and producer-linked material describes it as having a gentler slope and richer soils, with natural springs that support fuller, expressive wines well suited to Kabinett. 

Varietal: 100% Riesling. 

Vintage: 2022. 

Style / ABV: Off-dry white wine; 9.5% ABV. This is a Kabinett Riesling in the classic Mosel style, with delicate sweetness, vibrant acidity, and a light, racy feel. 

Why It’s Special: This wine is special because it captures everything people love about Mosel Kabinett: low alcohol, pure fruit, slate-driven freshness, and a sense of delicacy that still feels complete and expressive. Bernkasteler Badstube is an important historic site in the Bernkastel area, and Dr. Pauly-Bergweiler’s long family history in the Middle Mosel gives the wine a strong sense of tradition and place. 

Food Pairing: Excellent with Thai food, sushi, roast chicken, turkey, lightly spicy dishes, pork, or soft-ripened cheeses. Its combination of fruit, acidity, and gentle sweetness.
