✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Josephshofer Riesling Kabinett Versteigerung represents the absolute pinnacle of Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt's winemaking, sourced exclusively from their historic monopole vineyard, the Josephshof in Graach. This legendary site, once owned by the Abbey of St. Martin in Trier before being acquired by the Kesselstatt family in 1858, features deep, iron-rich Devonian slate soils with a unique clay component. This terroir imparts a signature weight, spice, and stone-fruit character to the Riesling, beautifully balanced by the electric acidity typical of the Mosel. The 'Versteigerung' (Auction) designation indicates an elite, highly limited lot selected for the prestigious annual VDP Grosser Ring auction. Vinified with minimal intervention, often in traditional oak Fuder, this Kabinett captures a breathtaking tension between delicate natural sweetness, intense minerality, and vibrant, dancing acidity.
