✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from one of the Saar valley's most dramatic and legendary steep sites, the Wiltinger Gottesfuss ('God's Foot') vineyard is renowned for its sheer incline of up to 60% and its unique, iron-rich red Devonian slate soils. This exceptional terroir yields Rieslings of remarkable tension, characterized by a distinct smoky minerality, wild herbal notes, and vibrant red-currant fruit. Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt masterfully captures this terroir in their Kabinett feinherb, an off-dry style where the Saar's signature electric acidity is perfectly balanced by a delicate touch of residual sweetness. Fermented cool in stainless steel to preserve its pristine, high-toned aromatics, this wine represents a classic, light-bodied expression of Saar Riesling that dances effortlessly on the palate.
🍾 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.

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.
