✨ Technical Specifications
Named after the estate's majestic headquarters nestled in the Ruwer Valley, the Schloss Marienlay Riesling serves as the ultimate introduction to the Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt style. Crafted from 100% Riesling grapes sourced from steep, slate-rich vineyards across the Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer, this wine captures the cool-climate tension and mineral intensity of the region. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, it preserves the pristine purity of white peach, green apple, and flinty minerality. The Schloss Marienlay estate itself, built in the late 19th century, stands as a symbol of the region's rich winemaking heritage, and this estate bottling honors that legacy by delivering a classic, vibrant, and highly refreshing expression of Mosel Riesling.
🍾 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.
