✨ Technical Specifications
Julian Haart's '1,000L' Riesling is a brilliant, energetic introduction to his winemaking philosophy. Named as a playful nod to both the traditional German 'liter bottle' format—historically the thirst-quenching, everyday drinking wine of the Mosel—and the classic 1,000-liter Fuder oak casks, this cuvée democratizes cult-level Mosel Riesling. Sourced from steep, slate-rich vineyards, the grapes are hand-harvested and undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. The wine beautifully captures the essence of the region's cool-climate tension, balancing vibrant, electric acidity with a delicate touch of residual sweetness and intense slate minerality. It represents a joyful, highly drinkable masterpiece crafted with the same meticulous care Julian applies to his legendary grand crus.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 2010 by Julian Haart alongside his wife Nadine, Weingut Julian Haart has rapidly emerged as one of the Mosel's most revered artisan domains. Born into a multi-century Piesport winegrowing lineage, Julian refined his craft through pivotal apprenticeships under icons Egon Müller, Klaus Peter Keller, and Werner Schönleber. The estate farms approximately five hectares, centering on vertigo-inducing, blue-slate Grand Cru terraces in the Mosel—notably Wintricher Ohligsberg and Piesporter Goldtröpfchen—alongside prestigious limestone parcels in Rheinhessen obtained through parcel exchanges with Keller. Viticulture relies entirely on meticulous manual labor without synthetic inputs, preserving ungrafted, century-old vines. In the cellar, Haart practices spontaneous fermentation in traditional neutral wooden Fuder and stainless steel with minimal intervention. The resulting Rieslings, ranging from razor-sharp dry Kalkstein and site bottlings to ethereal Kabinetts, display crystalline precision, saline tension, filigreed sweetness, and profound slate-driven minerality.
