✨ Technical Specifications
Julian Haart's estate Mosel Riesling is a masterclass in purity and energy, serving as the perfect introduction to his highly sought-after portfolio. Sourced from steep, slate-strewn vineyards in the Middle Mosel, this wine reflects the region's dramatic topography and cool-climate viticulture. Haart, who honed his skills under legendary mentors, treats this estate bottling with the same meticulous care as his grand crus. The wine is fermented spontaneously, capturing the vibrant, mineral-laden essence of the Mosel. Historically, the steep slopes of the Mosel have been cultivated since Roman times, where ancient vintners recognized the unique heat-retaining properties of the slate soils. This wine carries that ancient legacy forward with a contemporary, laser-focused precision, celebrated for its feather-light body, electric acidity, and profound slate-driven minerality.
🍾 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.
