Dr. Pauly-Bergweiler is owned by Dr. Peter Pauly
and his wife Helga, both of whom are traditional advocates of noble
wines. The vineyards are mainly planted on, difficult-to-cultivate
river valley hillsides and are planted predominantly with late
maturity Riesling grapes, which place high demands on their
location. In most years, the Riesling wines range from hearty, juicy
table wines in sharp or fruity versions up to the noble
Trockenbeerauslese (wine made from dry overripe individually
selected berries) and the rare Eiswein (ice wine, made from berries
frozen by frost) both of which are rich, luscious sweet wines, often
attracting the highest bids at top wine auctions. The passion for
making good and great wine is practically inborn in the owners of
the wine estate. Dr. Peter Pauly, born in 1939, has a Ph. D. in
agricultural science and is the offspring of the longstanding wine
families Bergweiler and Prüm, first mentioned in official records in
1156. Dr. Pauly's pride and joy, his 4.6 acre Berkastler alte
Badstube am Doctorberg vineyard facing directly south, yields some
of the greatest wine from the Moselle valley, year after year. It is
the neighboring vineyard of the Bernkasteler Doctor and is only
planted with Riesling vines which are more then 35 years old. It is
a full-bodied wine, rich, complex, with great depth and charm as it
ages. Dr.Pauly-Bergweiler is the only wine-maker selling
"Bernkasteler alte Badstube am Doctorberg" in the US. The
Bernkasteler alte Badstube am Doctorberg wines have always had a
very long potential and mature to greater heights as they age.
