Hermann Ludes, Riesling Thornicher Ritsch Kabinett Terrassen, 2023
Hermann Ludes makes Riesling like it’s 1985—and we mean that in the best possible way. Low alcohol, crackling acidity, and barely-there sweetness give his wines a throwback feel, and in a site like Thornicher Ritsch, the results are electric.
This Kabinett comes from terraced parcels in one of the Mosel’s steepest, most slate-heavy vineyards. The 2023 vintage keeps it ultra-bright and nervy: green apple, lime zest, wild herbs, and a smoky mineral edge that hums through the finish. There’s a whisper of residual sugar, but the acidity is so high it practically vanishes.
If you’re into Mosel Riesling that’s feather-light, shockingly focused, and totally refreshing, this one’s a no-brainer. Chill it down and let it rip—solo or with something spicy.
