✨ Technical Specifications
The Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, or 'droplet of gold,' is one of the Mosel's most legendary grand cru vineyards, a dramatic, south-facing amphitheater of weathered Devonian slate that has been prized since Roman times—as evidenced by the ancient Roman winepresses unearthed nearby. From this historic site, Julian Haart crafts his Kabinett Alte Reben from exceptionally old, deep-rooted vines. These ancient vines yield tiny, concentrated berries that retain a thrilling, electric acidity. Haart's non-interventionist approach—utilizing spontaneous fermentation in traditional oak Fuder—captures the vineyard's intense slate minerality, balancing a delicate, feather-light sweetness with a piercing, crystalline structure that defines the pinnacle of modern Mosel Riesling.
🍾 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.
