✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted from some of the estate's most venerable vineyards, the Alte Reben (Old Vines) Riesling trocken is a masterclass in Mosel's steep-slope viticulture. These ancient, deep-rooted vines, many of which survive on ungrafted rootstocks in the region's classic slate soils, yield tiny, highly concentrated berries. Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt utilizes these low-yielding parcels to produce a dry Riesling of immense depth and structural integrity. Fermented primarily in stainless steel and traditional large oak casks (Fuder) to preserve its pristine varietal character, this wine captures the essence of the Mosel's dramatic terroir. It weaves a complex tapestry of smoky slate minerality, wild herbs, and dense stone fruit, backed by the vibrant, electric acidity that defines the region's finest white wines.
🍾 About the Producer
With a documented winemaking legacy dating back to 1349, Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt is one of the most historic and revered wine estates in Germany's Mosel region. Headquartered at Schloss Marienlay in the Ruwer valley and owned by the Reh family since 1978, the estate holds an extraordinary footprint spanning the three distinct river valleys of the Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer. Dedicated almost exclusively to steep-slope Riesling cultivation, the winery stewards world-renowned VDP.Grosse Lage vineyard sites such as the Saar's Scharzhofberger, the Ruwer's Kaseler Nies'chen, and their historic Mosel monopole, Josephshöfer. Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt is celebrated for crafting site-expressive, mineral-driven Rieslings that range from vibrant dry expressions to profound, age-worthy noble sweet Prädikat wines.
