✨ Technical Specifications
The Graacher Domprobst vineyard, rising steeply above the Mosel river, takes its name from the cathedral provosts ('Domprobst') of Trier who historically collected tithes from this prized site. Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt coaxes an ethereal expression of Riesling from these weathered blue slate soils, which provide excellent heat retention and a distinct mineral signature. As a classic Mosel Kabinett, this wine is crafted from 100% Riesling grapes harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve a light-bodied, low-alcohol profile. The natural residual sweetness is perfectly balanced by a spine of electric, vibrant acidity. In the glass, it reveals characteristic aromas of green apple, white peach, wet slate, and delicate white blossoms, embodying the tension and elegance that define the estate's historic winemaking heritage.
🍾 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.
