Hermann Ludes, Riesling Thörnicher Ritsch Kabinett, Speyer, 2024
Hermann Ludes farms steep, slate-rich parcels in Thörnicher Ritsch, one of the Mosel’s most celebrated vineyards, known for producing Riesling. The Speyer parcel sits on dramatic slopes of Devonian slate, where low yields and long ripening preserve freshness and precision. The vineyard work is traditional and meticulous, with hand harvesting on the terraces and minimal intervention in the cellar.
The 2024 Kabinett is light, vibrant, and finely balanced. Fresh green apple, citrus, and white peach are layered with delicate floral notes and a clear slate-driven minerality. The palate is lively and precise, with brisk acidity and subtle natural sweetness that keep the wine focused and refreshing. The finish is clean and airy, capturing the elegance that defines Thörnicher Ritsch.
Varietal: Riesling
Appellation: Thörnicher Ritsch, Mosel, Germany
Farming: Sustainably farmed; traditional, low-intervention
Style: White. Light, crisp, and beautifully balanced
