✨ Technical Specifications
The 'RK' Riesling trocken serves as the quintessential calling card for the historic Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt estate, representing a modern, dry expression of Mosel Riesling backed by over 650 years of winemaking heritage. Crafted from 100% Riesling grapes sourced from steep, slate-rich vineyards across the Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer valleys, this wine captures the cool-climate energy of the region. The grapes are carefully harvested and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the pristine, vibrant fruit character and intense slate minerality that defines the estate's signature style. With its crisp acidity and refreshing citrus and stone fruit notes, the 'RK' bottling bridges the gap between ancient winemaking tradition and contemporary dry wine appreciation, offering a lively, terroir-driven experience in every glass.
🍾 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.
