✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the legendary Kaseler Nies'chen vineyard in the Ruwer valley, a tributary of the Mosel, this Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA) represents the pinnacle of German sweet winemaking. The vineyard's steep, south-facing slopes of blue Devonian slate, combined with the cool Ruwer microclimate, yield Riesling of extraordinary mineral tension and soaring acidity. To produce this rare nectar, botrytized grapes are painstakingly selected berry by berry in the vineyard. The resulting wine is a masterclass in balance, where the intense, honeyed sweetness of noble rot is perfectly countered by a piercing, electric acidity. Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt's historical mastery shines in this bottling, capturing the essence of one of the Ruwer's most revered terroirs.
