✨ Technical Specifications
Julian Haart's 'Haartriesling' serves as a masterclass in the tension and purity of the Middle Mosel. Sourced from steep, slate-laden vineyards in Piesport and Wintrich, this estate-level bottling captures the historic essence of a region where viticulture dates back to Roman times. The steep, sun-drenched slopes force the vines to dig deep into the devonian slate soils for nutrients, imparting a distinct, salty minerality to the wine. Julian, who honed his craft under legendary winemakers, treats this entry-level cuvée with the same meticulous care as his grand crus. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand, gently pressed, and fermented spontaneously with native yeasts in a combination of stainless steel and traditional oak casks. The result is a feather-light yet intensely concentrated Riesling that balances electric acidity with pristine stone fruit flavors.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 2010 by Julian and Nadine Haart, Weingut Julian Haart is situated in the historic village of Piesport along Germany's Middle Mosel. Having honed his craft under iconic masters such as Klaus Peter Keller and Egon Müller, Julian quickly established his boutique estate as one of Germany's most revered modern cult producers. Cultivating prized, precipitous slate terroirs including Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, Wintricher Ohligsberg, and the legendary ungrafted vines of Schubertslay, the winery prioritizes meticulous vineyard management and low-intervention cellar practices. Julian Haart is acclaimed for producing breathtakingly crystalline, tension-filled Rieslings and refined Pinot Noirs that showcase extraordinary precision, electric acidity, and profound site-specific minerality.
