✨ 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
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.
