✨ Technical Specifications
The 'J.J.' Riesling Kabinett from Julian Haart is a heartfelt homage to his family, named after his wife Jacqueline and their son Johann. This bottling serves as a stunning introduction to Haart's signature style of Mosel Riesling: feather-light, electric, and deeply mineral. Sourced from steep, slate-laden vineyards in the Middle Mosel, the grapes are harvested with meticulous care to ensure the perfect balance of ripe fruit and vibrant acidity. In the cellar, Haart employs traditional, low-intervention methods, including spontaneous fermentation in old oak casks (Fuder) and stainless steel. The resulting wine is a masterclass in tension, offering a delicate dance of residual sweetness and piercing acidity, underpinned by a distinct salty minerality that reflects the ancient slate soils of the region.
🍾 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.
