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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
With a winemaking legacy spanning over 650 years since its establishment in 1349, Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt is one of the Mosel region's most historic and prestigious estates. Based at the majestic Schloss Marienlay in Morscheid, Germany, the estate was long held by the imperial counts of Kesselstatt before being acquired by the Günther Reh family in 1978, who elevated its global reputation under the visionary leadership of the late Annegret Reh-Gartner. The winery is uniquely distinguished by its exceptional vineyard holdings across all three of the region's river valleys—the Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer—including the legendary monopole Josephshof in Graach, as well as prime parcels in Scharzhofberg and Kaseler Nies'chen. Embracing sustainable viticulture and minimal-intervention cellar practices, Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt produces world-class, mineral-driven Rieslings that beautifully articulate their diverse terroirs, ranging from precise, vibrant Kabinetts to legendary, long-lived Trockenbeerenauslese expressions.
