✨ Technical Specifications
While Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt is globally renowned for its legendary Rieslings, the estate also crafts an exquisite Sp tburgunder (Pinot Noir) Ros that captures the cool-climate elegance of the Mosel. Pinot Noir has a historic presence in Germany, dating back to Cistercian monks who brought the grape from Burgundy in the Middle Ages. Grown on the region's steep, slate-rich slopes, the grapes for this ros are harvested early to preserve their vibrant acidity. The wine is produced using gentle pressing and cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks to maintain its pristine fruit character. The resulting ros is a beautiful expression of Mosel terroir, offering delicate aromas of wild strawberries, red currants, and wet stone, balanced by a fine, mineral-driven tension that is characteristic of the estate's historic winemaking style.
🍾 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.
