✨ 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
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.
