✨ Technical Specifications
Named in honor of the historic baroque Palais Kesselstatt in Trier, the 'Sommerpalais' Riesling is a joyous celebration of the Mosel's classic slate-driven terroir. Crafted by the historic Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt estate, this 100% Riesling captures the breezy, elegant spirit of a summer afternoon in the palace gardens. The grapes are sourced from steep, slate-rich riverbank vineyards across the Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer valleys. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, the wine undergoes minimal intervention to preserve its natural, vibrant acidity, delicate stone fruit aromas, and signature salty minerality. It represents a beautifully balanced, off-dry to dry style that bridges centuries of winemaking tradition with modern, refreshing accessibility.
🍾 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.
