✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the steep, slate-laden slopes of the Mosel, Julian Haart's Herrgott Riesling Spätlese is a masterclass in the tension between natural sweetness and electric acidity. The Herrgott vineyard in Piesport, though historically playing second fiddle to the legendary neighboring Goldtröpfchen, possesses a unique microclimate and soil composition rich in Devonian slate that yields wines of profound mineral depth and crystalline purity. Haart coaxes incredible precision from these vines, employing traditional methods including spontaneous fermentation in old oak Fuder to allow the natural character of the terroir to shine. The resulting Spätlese is feather-light yet intensely aromatic, showcasing a brilliant interplay of ripe stone fruits, wet slate, and wild herbs, backed by a persistent, vibrating finish that defines the very best of classic Mosel winemaking.
🍾 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.
