2022 Weingut Hermann Ludes Thornicher Ritsch Riesling Kabinett Feinherb 'Monster', Mosel, Germany Athletes du Vin 30% Grenache NoirFirst how awesome to see another Kabinett Feinherb. What can we say; we love the genre. This is the magic of Ludes: a finely knit tapestry of flowers, minerals, spice. The wine is angelic, light footed, soaring, nearly illuminated the laws of gravity do not apply. This is spirit as much as liquid. A little drier and also less acid than the Kabinett Monster at 34g of RS and 10. 6g of acid. VB
