The origins of the von Kesselstatt estate go back to the 14th century with the vineyard purshase by the Kesselstatt family recorded in 1349. Some years later the von Kesselstatts had assumed responsibility of looking after the wines of the elector of Trier, and in 1777 the Emperor Josef II elevated the barons of Kesselstatt to Reichgrafs. The estate acquired four former monasteries of St Maximin and their vineyards between 1854 and 1889, and these make up the present estate.
Gunther Reh bought the estate in 1978, and it has been run by his daughter Annegret since 1983. With 12 ha each in Mosel, Saar and Ruwer, and with holdings in many presitigeous sites, including Josephshofer, Bernkasteler Doctor and Scharzhofberg etc, von Kesselstatt was one of the first estates to offer Grosses Gewaches wines.
