Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt
Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt produces Riesling from the Mosel, Germany's most celebrated cool-climate region. The winery's portfolio centers on the grape's full spectrum of expression—from dry to intensely sweet—drawn from distinguished vineyard sites. The Riesling Piesporter Goldtropfchen Auslese 'Goldkapsel' and Kaseler Nies'chen Riesling Beerenauslese both achieve 94-point averages among prestige critics including Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. The Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese 'Goldkapsel' follows closely at 93.3 points. These late-harvest selections showcase the region's ability to concentrate fruit and acidity in cool conditions, yielding wines of precision and depth. Mosel Rieslings of this caliber balance residual sweetness with mineral tension and aromatic complexity—hallmarks of the region's slate-based terroir.
