✨ Technical Specifications
Julian Haart's 'Moselle' Riesling is a brilliant homage to the historic, feather-light style of the Mosel Valley, often utilizing the historic French spelling 'Moselle' on the label as a nod to the region's classic past. Sourced primarily from steep, slate-rich parcels in and around the village of Piesport—including younger vines from grand cru sites—this wine is crafted with the same obsessive attention to detail as Haart's top single-vineyard bottlings. Fermented spontaneously with native yeasts in a combination of traditional oak Fuder and stainless steel, it captures the crystalline purity, electric acidity, and intense slate minerality that define the region's terroir. It is a masterclass in precision, balancing vibrant citrus and stone fruit notes with a deep, stony resonance.
🍾 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.
