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.

Established in 2010 by Julian Haart in the historic winegrowing village of Piesport, this Mosel estate has quickly risen to cult status.

The estate's winemaking philosophy relies on organic viticulture, spontaneous fermentation in traditional oak Fuder, and minimal intervention to preserve the natural tension and purity of the fruit. Julian Haart is globally celebrated for producing incredibly precise, mineral-driven, and elegant Rieslings, particularly his legendary, feather-light Kabinett expressions.
