✨ Technical Specifications
While Julian Haart is globally renowned for his steep-slope Mosel masterpieces, his Molsheimer Riesling represents an exciting venture into the limestone-rich terroir of Rheinhessen. This connection was forged through his close bond with mentor Klaus Peter Keller, who helped Haart secure prime parcels in Molsheim. Unlike the slate-driven profiles of his Mosel wines, this dry Riesling thrives on active limestone soils, yielding a wine of incredible structural tension, chalky minerality, and vibrant citrus energy. Crafted with spontaneous fermentation and minimal intervention, it beautifully marries Haart's signature precision and crystalline purity with the broader, textured power characteristic of Rheinhessen's finest white wines.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 2010 by Julian Haart alongside his wife Nadine, Weingut Julian Haart has rapidly emerged as one of the Mosel's most revered artisan domains. Born into a multi-century Piesport winegrowing lineage, Julian refined his craft through pivotal apprenticeships under icons Egon Müller, Klaus Peter Keller, and Werner Schönleber. The estate farms approximately five hectares, centering on vertigo-inducing, blue-slate Grand Cru terraces in the Mosel—notably Wintricher Ohligsberg and Piesporter Goldtröpfchen—alongside prestigious limestone parcels in Rheinhessen obtained through parcel exchanges with Keller. Viticulture relies entirely on meticulous manual labor without synthetic inputs, preserving ungrafted, century-old vines. In the cellar, Haart practices spontaneous fermentation in traditional neutral wooden Fuder and stainless steel with minimal intervention. The resulting Rieslings, ranging from razor-sharp dry Kalkstein and site bottlings to ethereal Kabinetts, display crystalline precision, saline tension, filigreed sweetness, and profound slate-driven minerality.
