Herman Ludes is another estate that has always cut its own path. Focussing on drier wines, elegant and light, as Mosel Fine Wines say:
 
"In many ways, they are all cut from a hypothetical blend of Joh. Joh. Prüm early backwardness and Falkenstein zing while embracing the delicacy and finesse from both Estates."
 
The 2022er Thörnicher Ritsch Riesling Kabinett Feinherb “Monster” was made from fruit harvested at 80° Oechsle in the prime south-facing
western part of the vineyard and was fermented down to off-dry levels of residual sugar (21 g/l). Fine residues from its spontaneous fermentation
quickly give way to a superbly complex and captivating nose of fresh herbs, aniseed, grapefruit zest, fine spices, greengage, and mint. The wine
proves deliciously juicy and finely fruity on the delicate and light-weighted palate. It leaves a superbly juicy feel of fresh vineyard peach and stone
fruit driven elements in the superbly spicy and long finish. The aftertaste already shows good focus and tension. This great off-dry Riesling is both
very attractive and complex and deep. 2024-2037
