Julian Ludes (lood-ess) refers to his steel-vinified Riesling from the flatlands of Thörnicher Schiesslay as a "breakfast wine," likely due to its low ABV of 9%. In New York, we would pair it with a nice brunch closer to 10am or a weekday lunch, but this lean, angular, minerally, off-dry Riesling is great any time of day, with or without food. The nose shows flint & herbs, the palate is citrus-laden, and the finish is bristling with nervy acidity, a touch of residual sugar, and hints of menthol, grapefruit rind, and petrol. Foodwise, we recommend keeping it simple: try gravlax, pickled herring in cream sauce, pork belly, cheesy potato dishes, and high-end Wursts.
