✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
With a winemaking legacy spanning over 650 years since its establishment in 1349, Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt is one of the Mosel region's most historic and prestigious estates. Based at the majestic Schloss Marienlay in Morscheid, Germany, the estate was long held by the imperial counts of Kesselstatt before being acquired by the Günther Reh family in 1978, who elevated its global reputation under the visionary leadership of the late Annegret Reh-Gartner. The winery is uniquely distinguished by its exceptional vineyard holdings across all three of the region's river valleys—the Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer—including the legendary monopole Josephshof in Graach, as well as prime parcels in Scharzhofberg and Kaseler Nies'chen. Embracing sustainable viticulture and minimal-intervention cellar practices, Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt produces world-class, mineral-driven Rieslings that beautifully articulate their diverse terroirs, ranging from precise, vibrant Kabinetts to legendary, long-lived Trockenbeerenauslese expressions.
