✨ Technical Specifications
The Piesporter Goldtr%fchen, or 'little golden droplets,' is one of the Mosel's most legendary grand cru vineyards, shaped like a dramatic, south-facing amphitheater along a bend in the river. According to local lore, the name refers to the morning dew that glistens like gold on the ripe Riesling grapes. Julian Haart's 'Nr 10' Kabinett is a masterclass in Mosel tension, sourced from old vines clinging to steep, weathered blue devonian slate soils. Haart, who honed his craft under Egon M%ller and Klaus Peter Keller, utilizes spontaneous fermentation in traditional oak Fuder to craft a wine of ethereal lightness. It perfectly balances vibrant, electric acidity with delicate natural sweetness and a profound, smoky mineral core.
🍾 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.
