Ludes - Riesling Ritsch Kabinett Trocken Speyer 2022 (750ml)
Experience a taste of history with the Ludes Riesling Ritsch Kabinett Trocken “Speyer” 2022. Crafted from over 70-year-old vines in the steep, south-facing Thörnicher Ritsch vineyard in Mosel, Germany, this wine is truly special. In this unique vineyard, one vine produces only one bottle, showcasing the intense concentration and quality of the fruit.
The Ludes family farms these vineyards with care, using organic methods, even though they are not officially certified. The wine ferments naturally in stainless steel tanks, allowing its pure flavors to shine through. After the summer, the wine gently rests before being bottled in the autumn.
Get ready for bright flavors of lime, grapefruit, and pear, balanced by an incredible zip of acidity. With a touch of sugar (9.5g/L) perfectly balanced by the high acidity (around 9.3 g/L), this dry Riesling is lively and refreshing.
As Mosel Fine Wines notes, "Julian Ludes completely nailed the vintage," creating a collection that shows great vibrancy and aromatic depth right from this entry-level wine. They describe the style as a blend of "zing" and "finesse," a classic Mosel character that is both exceptional now and promising for the future. This is a wine that offers a glimpse into a cooler, more traditional winemaking world.
