The steep, dramatic slopes of the Wintricher Ohligsberg vineyard represent one of the Mosel's most historic and prestigious terroirs, characterized by weathered blue Devonian slate mixed with quartz. Julian Haart, celebrated for his surgical precision and minimalist philosophy, coaxes an incredibly vibrant expression from this grand cru site. While Haart is globally renowned for his residually sweet Kabinetts, his dry (trocken) expressions from the Ohligsberg showcase a different side of this legendary hill. This style marries the feather-light, high-acid tension of a classic Kabinett harvest with a bone-dry finish. Fermented spontaneously with native yeasts in traditional neutral oak casks (Fuder), the wine captures the crystalline purity, intense slate minerality, and wild herbal spice that have defined Ohligsberg wines since they were highly prized in the 19th century.

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.
