2021 Weingut Hermann Ludes Thornicher Ritsch Riesling Spatlese 'Speyer', Mosel, Germany Best's Great Western In 2021-2022The 2021er Thrnicher Ritsch Riesling Sptlese Speyer was made from fruit picked at 83 Oechsle in this prime Lieu Dit situated in the upper part of the original Ritsch of the vineyard and was fermented down to fruity styled levels of residual sugar (56 g l). It offers a superb even if still rather ripe and reduced nose made of fine herbal elements, melon, whipped cream, citrus, smoke, and slate. The wine proves beautifully slender and yet subtly creamy
