ABOUT THIS WINE
The Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt Schloss Marienlay Riesling Trocken 2021 is a dry white wine from Germany's Mosel region. Produced by Weingut Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt, an estate with over 650 years of history, this wine comes from the Schloss Marienlay estate. The estate's vineyards are situated on steep, south-facing slopes with slate soils, and the vines are meticulously tended by hand. The producer is committed to the excellence of German Riesling and has focused on developing high-quality dry wines. The Reh family, who acquired the estate in 1978, has implemented strict yield limitations to enhance wine quality.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
This Riesling is produced using grapes from the Mosel region. The winemaking process emphasizes modern techniques, including fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This approach aims to preserve the purity of the fruit and the wine's inherent characteristics. Strict limitations on vineyard yields are a key part of the quality-focused philosophy. The grapes are harvested by hand due to the challenging terrain of the steep vineyard sites.
