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 2023er Thörnicher Ritsch Riesling Kabinett Feinherb “Monster” was made from fruit harvested at 82° Oechsle in the prime south-facing

western part of the vineyard and was fermented down to off-dry levels of residual sugar (17 g/l). It offers a rather reduced nose made of wet stone,

melon, grapefruit zest, whipped cream, dried herbs, and smoke. The wine starts off on the soft side on the palate before some tart zest kicks in and

adds raciness to the experience. The finish is still a bit disjointed at this early stage. This nicely playful and beautifully light-footed expression of offdry

Kabinett only needs a few years to integrate and shine. 2028-2038
