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.
🍾 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.
