Weingut Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt

Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt is one of the oldest and most prestigious wineries in Germany, with a history dating back to the 14th century. Founded in 1349, the estate has spent more than 650 years shaping the reputation of the Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer regions as some of the world’s greatest Riesling terroirs.

History and Heritage

The name Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt is closely linked to German aristocracy and a long tradition of land ownership. Centuries of accumulated knowledge, historical archives, and uninterrupted winemaking practice allow the estate to see itself not only as a producer, but also as a custodian of regional heritage. The winery is still based in historic Baroque palaces in Trittenheim, symbolizing a unique fusion of culture, history, and wine.

Terroir as a Core Value

Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt is widely regarded as a benchmark for terroir-driven winemaking in Germany. The estate owns some of the most renowned and valuable vineyard sites in the Mosel region, including:

• Brauneberger Juffer & Juffer Sonnenuhr
• Josephshöfer
• Scharzhofberger
• Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, among others
• Steep hillside vineyards with slate soils, dramatic slopes, and river-influenced microclimates give these Rieslings exceptional minerality, tension, and long aging potential.
