"Karl-Josef Loewen, who began collecting parcels of the Thörnicher Ritsch vineyard in 1998, describes it as the second steepest vineyard in Germany. The 60-year-old vines grow in weathered grey slate and quartzite, each trained to its own post (an old viticultural method called Einzelstockerziehung). In 2021, this dry wine feels like a powerful beam of golden light, its fresh lime pith and juice seeming to continue long into the distance. Warm in the middle, this needs a stiff chill if you serve it now, or cellar time to build on its complexities."
