Hermann Ludes Thörnicher Ritsch Riesling Auslese 2004
In the wine lists of the 1930s, when the Moselle Riesling was in its prime, the Riesling wines from the Thörnicher Ritsch were considerably more expensive than, for example, the Rieslings from the Ockfener Geisberg or the Canzemer Altenberg. Because the Ritsch was known for its cool, elegant, radiantly steely style and its above-average aging potential.

Everything in the cellar is done in stainless steel and the wines ferment with native yeasts.
The Ludes family has the most parcels in the Thörnicher Ritsch, a site on the Mosel that is likely the coldest south-facing site on the entire valley – kept cool but the brisk winds that come up the side valley abutting the site and wash over the vines every night. The wines of the Ritsch thus have even more brisk, energetic acidity than is commonly found on the acid-abundant Mosel.
A large percentage of the vines are ungrafted and up to 70 years old – planted by his grandfather in the 1950s when the estate was founded.
