✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the steep, cool-climate slopes of the Ruwer valley—a historic tributary of the Mosel—the Kaseler Riesling Trocken is a masterful expression of village-level terroir. The village of Kasel is legendary for its blue Devonian slate soils, which impart a distinct, smoky minerality and electric tension to the wine. Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt utilizes fruit from their prized holdings in this valley, where cool winds prolong the ripening season, allowing the Riesling grapes to develop complex aromatics while retaining a vibrant, laser-like acidity. Vinified dry in temperature-controlled stainless steel to maintain absolute purity, this wine showcases classic Ruwer characteristics: crunchy green apple, white peach, wild mint, and a flinty, saline finish that speaks directly of its slate-laden origins.
🍾 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.
