✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the steep, blue Devonian slate slopes of the Kaseler Kehrnagel vineyard in the Ruwer valley—a cooler tributary of the Mosel—this 100% Riesling showcases the historic expertise of Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt. The name Kehrnagel historically refers to a sharp turn in the river valley, where the vines enjoy optimal sun exposure balanced by cool mountain breezes. This unique microclimate yields grapes with intense aromatic complexity and a vibrant, electric acidity. Vinified in the traditional feinherb (off-dry) style, the natural residual sweetness is masterfully balanced by the slate-driven minerality and crisp acidity, resulting in a wine of tension, elegance, and deep herbal and citrus complexity.
🍾 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.
