✨ 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
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.
