Hermann Ludes is a quiet master of traditional Mosel Riesling, crafting wines that are both delicate and intensely structured. His Monster bottling, from the legendary Thörnicher Ritsch vineyard, comes from steep, slate-laden slopes that give the wine its signature tension and depth. The 2023 vintage, marked by purity and bright acidity, delivers a Kabinett Feinherb that is both energetic and deeply expressive.

Lime zest, green apple, and white peach lead, layered with smoky slate, wild herbs, and a whisper of petrol. The palate is precise and racy, balancing off-dry richness with mouthwatering acidity, finishing long with a salty, mineral edge. A perfect match for spicy Asian dishes, seafood, or simply sipping and savoring, this is a Mosel Riesling that will evolve beautifully for decades—but is almost impossible to resist now.

More about Hermann Ludes

Julian Ludes took over his uncle Hermann's winery in the Mosel in 2020 and immediately started pushing harder into raw, reductive Riesling. Twelve hectares of steep vineyards including the legendary Ritsch site (with old ungrafted vines) ferment wild, stay in barrel as long as they need, and never get the lab-coat treatment. This is minimal-intervention Mosel made modern.
