Hermann Ludes is a master of classic Mosel Riesling, crafting wines with extraordinary energy and ageability. Sourced from the steep, slate-heavy slopes of Thörnicher Ritsch, the Gackes Oben parcel sits higher up on the vineyard, producing wines with even more tension and crystalline purity. The 2023 vintage, shaped by cool nights and a long growing season, delivers a Feinherb Kabinett that balances delicate sweetness with striking acidity.

Lime zest, green apple, and white peach lead, backed by floral notes and a stony, smoky minerality. The palate is electric yet weightless, with a fine interplay between its off-dry richness and racy acidity. A long, salty finish keeps it endlessly refreshing. Perfect with spicy cuisine, fresh seafood, or as a contemplative sipper, this is Mosel Riesling at its most precise and expressive. Built to evolve but nearly impossible to resist now.
