Producer web siteUntil 1988 there was one
Dr. H Thanisch estate. However, family members divided this into two separate estates:
*
Wwe. Dr. H. Thanisch (Erben Müller-Burggraef) (the AP# starts with 2 576
742)
*
Wwe. Dr. H. Thanisch (Erben-Thanisch) (the AP# starts with 2 576
242)
If you are entering a wine from 1988 and later, PLEASE take a VERY close look at the label and consult the fine print to determine which of the two estates made your wine.
Reports from the field suggest that the first few post-split vintages are especially similar. The "Erben Müller-Burggraef" and "Erben Thanisch-Spier" are, or should be, present on the label. Erben Müller-Burggraef uses a slightly smaller label with a neck label, Erben Thanisch a larger body label and no neck label. Erben Thanisch are members of the VDP, characterized by a black eagle symbol at the bottom left of the label, and Erben Müller-Burggraef does not belong to this association.
