✨ Technical Specifications
The Josephshofer Riesling Kabinett is a singular expression of one of the Mosel's most legendary monopole vineyards. Located in the village of Graach, the Josephshof slope was originally owned by the Abbey of St. Martin in Trier, with viticultural records dating back to 1156, before being acquired by the Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt family in 1858. This historic site features deep, weathered Devonian slate soils with a high proportion of fine earth, which imparts a distinctive spicy minerality, ripe stone fruit character, and structural weight to the wine. Crafted entirely from Riesling, this Kabinett is made in the classic off-dry Mosel style, utilizing cool fermentation in traditional oak Fuder casks and stainless steel to preserve its vibrant, dancing acidity and delicate natural sweetness.
🍾 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.
