From a newly acquired parcel in the wind-swept Schneidersberg section part of the Thörnicher Berg – this is in a side valley behind the main Ritsch and has a southwest exposition as opposed to most of the other sites listed here which face directly south. 15.9g of RS and 10.3g of Acid. The 2022 is the first vintage for Ludes from this newly acquired prime parcel and the “T” is code for DRY – just don’t tell the German authorities!

| Mosel Fine Wines | The 2022er Thörnicher Ritsch Riesling Kabinett -t- “Im Schneidersberg” was made from fruit harvested at 78° Oechsle on 80-85 year-old vines in this prime Lieu-Dit and was fermented down to off-dry levels of residual sugar (15 g/l). The nose is captivating from the start, with hints of bacon smoke, residual spontaneous fermentation, and lots of fine spices. Then come aromas of vineyard peach, dried white flowers, gunflint, lime, grapefruit, and gooseberry. The wine comes over as straightforward and lean on the palate, with dynamism provided by some salivating acidity. The finish is taut, long, and tart, and clearly still austere. It will need a few years to soften. This lively, airy, and racy dry wine is remarkable, and will appeal to fans of this style. | No. 67, Sep. 2023 |
