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.

Established in 2010 by Julian Haart in the historic winegrowing village of Piesport, this Mosel estate has quickly risen to cult status. Having trained under legendary mentors like Klaus Peter Keller and Egon Müller, Haart applies a meticulous, hands-on approach to farming steep, slate-rich grand cru vineyards such as Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, Schubertslay, and Wintricher Ohligsberg. 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.
