✨ 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
Established in 1349, Weingut Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt is one of the Mosel's most venerable estates, boasting a viticultural lineage that spans nearly seven centuries. Acquired by the Reh family in 1978 and revitalized under the stewardship of Annegret Reh-Gartner, the estate is headquartered at Schloss Marienlay in the Ruwer valley. The winery holds an extraordinary portfolio of steep-slope terroirs extending across the Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer valleys, united by varied Devonian blue, red, and grey slate soils and cool, river-moderated microclimates. Sustainable vineyard stewardship emphasizes low yields and selective hand-harvesting. Cellar work combines temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel with traditional oak casks, focusing on purity, site expression, and vibrant acidity. The estate produces classic dry Grosses Gewächs and pristine Prädikat bottlings from premier crus like Scharzhofberger, Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, and Wehlener Sonnenuhr, headlined by its celebrated 3.8-hectare Graach monopole, the Josephshöfer.
