✨ Technical Specifications
Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt's Riesling Kabinett represents the quintessential expression of classic Mosel winemaking, drawing from the estate's extraordinary slate-rich terroirs. Crafted from 100% Riesling grapes hand-harvested from steep, sun-drenched slopes, this wine showcases the delicate balance of vibrant acidity and natural residual sweetness that defines the Kabinett style. The estate's unique position, with historic vineyard holdings spanning the Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer valleys, allows for a masterful blending of fruit that captures the diverse mineral signatures of Devonian slate. Fermented cool in stainless steel to preserve its pristine fruit character and electric tension, this Kabinett pays homage to centuries of winemaking tradition, delivering a feather-light body coupled with intense aromatic 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.
