✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
