✨ wine.spec_sheet
Named after the majestic headquarters of the estate, the Schloss Marienlay Kabinett feinherb represents a classic, off-dry expression of Mosel Riesling. Crafted from 100% Riesling grapes grown on steep, slate-laden slopes, this wine captures the legendary tension of the region. The term 'feinherb' indicates an off-dry style where the natural residual sweetness is perfectly balanced by a vibrant, electric acidity. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its pristine fruit character, it offers delicate aromas of green apple, white peach, and wet slate, reflecting the unique slate terroir and centuries-old winemaking heritage of Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt.
🍾 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.
