Annegret Reh-Gartner

Coming Up

At Weingut Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt in Mosel Valley, Germany (1983–2016), Annegret Reh-Gartner built an early career of unusual length as owner and manager. The work ran through changing conditions in the Mosel, but the line of her tenure was continuity rather than display. She also directed the estate at Weingut Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt in Trier, Germany (1983–2016), holding both posts across the same span with measured authority. The duration of that commitment points to a professional life formed by patience, discipline, and close knowledge of the estate’s identity.

Where They Are Now

The next phase, as Annegret Reh-Gartner framed it, was a matter of practice rather than slogan: “In my opinion the future is on environmental awareness, such as bio-dynamic and/or sustainable wine production.” The point is a working one: attention to vineyard and cellar methods, and to how they hold up over time. It places responsibility for wine’s future in the relation between style, land, and the methods used to preserve both.

Signature

Annegret's signature wines include Scharzhofberger Riesling Beerenauslese, Scharzhofberger, Josephshofer, Riesling Spatlese, Nies’Chen GG, and Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Read together, the names map a career grounded in some of the Mosel’s most closely watched sites and forms. Scharzhofberger Riesling Beerenauslese and Riesling Spatlese mark different ends of expression, but both reflect the same emphasis on precision and distinctness. Scharzhofberger, Josephshofer, Nies’Chen GG, and Wehlener Sonnenuhr add the authority of place: steep slopes, cool restraint, and the clarity needed for a wine to remain specific rather than generic.

In Their Words “The domaine wines should be very individual wines with edges and corners, otherwise they lose respect and attention.” “In my opinion the future is on environmental awareness, such as bio-dynamic and/or sustainable wine production.”
