✨ Technical Specifications
Julian Haart's Piesporter Riesling is a masterclass in capturing the essence of one of the Mosel's most historic winegrowing villages. Piesport itself is steeped in ancient lore, home to a beautifully preserved 4th-century Roman wine press that speaks to millennia of viticultural heritage. Sourced from steep, slate-laden parcels around the village, this wine reflects the dramatic topography of the Mosel loop. Haart utilizes traditional, low-intervention methods, including spontaneous fermentation, to craft a wine that balances electric acidity with a delicate, stony minerality. It offers a vibrant sensory journey through wet slate, white peach, and wild herbs, showcasing the feather-light precision that has made Haart a cult favorite among Riesling purists.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 2010 by Julian and Nadine Haart, Weingut Julian Haart is situated in the historic village of Piesport along Germany's Middle Mosel. Having honed his craft under iconic masters such as Klaus Peter Keller and Egon Müller, Julian quickly established his boutique estate as one of Germany's most revered modern cult producers. Cultivating prized, precipitous slate terroirs including Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, Wintricher Ohligsberg, and the legendary ungrafted vines of Schubertslay, the winery prioritizes meticulous vineyard management and low-intervention cellar practices. Julian Haart is acclaimed for producing breathtakingly crystalline, tension-filled Rieslings and refined Pinot Noirs that showcase extraordinary precision, electric acidity, and profound site-specific minerality.
