Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt
With a history that spans more than 650 years (1349-1999) Weingut Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt is one of the most traditional estates in the Mosel region. The von Kesselstatt dynasty immigrated to the electorate of Trier in the 14th century. The first documented mention of a vineyard purchase dates from 1349.
Description
This Kabinett from the Saar shows a terrific sense of place. Juicy minerality with exquisite quince and a healthy amount of grip on the finish represent the distinctive hallmarks of the terroir from which it came. Upfront dark forest fruit and juicy blackberry on the nose, rounded off with generous aromas of red vineyard peach. Subtle spontaneous fermentation notes and a slightly salty finish make this a quintessential Scharzhofberger.
Food Pairing
Spicy, seasoned Asian dishes; fruity North African dishes; fillet of pork with caramelised garlic and orange sauce; or simply any blue cheese that is not too overpowering.
