The Terrassen bottling comes from steep, terraced parcels within Thörnicher Ritsch, one of the Mosel’s most prized vineyards, where Devonian slate soils and dramatic slopes define the character of the wines. These hand-worked terraces naturally limit yields and extend the growing season, allowing Riesling to ripen slowly. Hermann Ludes farms traditionally, with careful vineyard work and minimal intervention in the cellar.
The 2023 Kabinett is bright, showing green apple, citrus peel, and white peach, supported by subtle floral notes and a clear slate-driven minerality. The palate is light and refreshing, with vivid acidity balanced by gentle natural sweetness. The finish is clean and focused, highlighting the tension and elegance that make Thörnicher Ritsch such a benchmark for Kabinett Riesling.
Varietal: Riesling
Appellation: Thörnicher Ritsch, Mosel, Germany
Farming: Sustainably farmed; traditional, low-intervention
Style: White. Light, precise, and mineral-driven
