Doctor
[DAHK-tohr]

A world-famous EINZELLAGE located on the steep hills above the town of BERNKASTEL in Germany’s MOSEL-SAARRUWER region. According to the German laws established in 1971, the minimum size of an Einzellage is 5 HECTARES (12.35 acres) and Bernkasteler Doctor, at about 8 acres, is only one of two vineyards that are given special dispensation. The grapes from this steep vineyard are normally riper than others in this renowned area and possess a slate flavor that’s exhibited in the superb wines.
