From the terraced central part of the Ritsch, this is an extraordinarily young Kabinett that has a long, lovely road ahead of it. The most classically styled wine of the group, and still drier than many Kabinetts. This is fascinating – it does seem riper and wider on the palate – yet remains so buoyant and fresh. 32g of residual sugar.

| Mosel Fine Wines | The 2023er Thörnicher Ritsch Riesling Kabinett “Terrassen” was made from fruit harvested at 83° Oechsle in the terraced part on 75-80-year-old vines in the central part of the vineyard and was fermented down to barely fruity-styled levels of residual sugar (32 g/l). It offers a rather backward nose made of wet stone, minerals, quince, starfruit, ginger, mint, whipped cream, and smoky elements. The wine proves rather juicy with a tad more creaminess than usual but still the same delightful light-footed intensity on the palate that has made the success of the Estate. The finish is still somewhat reduced but hugely promising. This wine really is best left alone for 10 years to give it a chance to reveal its flavors and balance. | No. 72, Sep. 2024 |
