"Hermann Ludes produces uncompromising, highly distinctive wines, devoid of any unnecessarily satiating fruitiness – incredible! (...) Wines of a kind that are getting increasingly rare on the Mosel.

There is a conscious hands-off approach in the cellar: no cultivated yeasts, no enzymes or additives. 70-year-old Hermann Ludes has found his successor in nephew Julian, an achievement of which many of his colleagues will surely be jealous.”
