✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the steep, sun-drenched slopes of Graach in the Middle Mosel, the Graacher Riesling Trocken is a masterful expression of village-level terroir. The soils here are dominated by weathered Devonian blue slate, which imparts a distinctive, smoky minerality and flinty character to the wine. Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt, with its centuries of winemaking heritage, crafts this dry Riesling to showcase the pure, vibrant essence of the grape. Fermented cool in stainless steel to preserve its aromatic intensity, the wine reveals classic notes of green apple, white peach, and wild herbs, underpinned by a bracing, electric acidity. The historic village of Graach is legendary for producing wines of immense structure and longevity, and this dry bottling beautifully captures that tension between ripe stone fruit and cool, stony minerality.
🍾 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.
