✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the cool, wind-swept slopes of the Saar valley, the Wiltinger Riesling trocken by Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt is a masterclass in cool-climate precision. The historic village of Wiltingen is renowned for its steep, dramatic vineyards dominated by iron-rich red and blue Devonian slate. This terroir, combined with the Saar's cooler microclimate, imparts a laser-like acidity and intense, flinty minerality to the 100% Riesling grapes. Fermented primarily in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its pristine fruit character, this dry (trocken) white wine beautifully captures the tension, vibrant citrus, and green apple notes that have defined the region's winemaking heritage for centuries.
🍾 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.
