✨ Technical Specifications
While the historic Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt estate is globally renowned for its legendary Rieslings, their 'RK' Weissburgunder trocken showcases the estate's mastery over Pinot Blanc in the cool-climate Mosel. The 'RK' designation represents the estate's signature style of accessible yet sophisticated wines. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards where slate and shell limestone soils impart a distinctive mineral backbone, this dry white wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its pristine fruit character. Historically, Weissburgunder has thrived in the region, offering a creamy, elegant alternative to Riesling. This bottling beautifully captures that heritage, weaving together delicate aromas of white peach, green apple, and fresh blossoms with a refined, refreshing acidity that speaks directly to its Mosel 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.
