✨ Technical Specifications
The Schubertslay is a mythical vineyard site in Piesport, a tiny, amphitheater-like parcel of extremely steep, south-facing slopes dominated by soft blue slate. It is home to some of the oldest, ungrafted Riesling vines in the Mosel, some of which are over a century old. Julian Haart's Piesporter Schubertslay Riesling Auslese 1* represents the pinnacle of sweet winemaking from this historic site. Fermented spontaneously in traditional neutral oak Fuder, this Auslese captures the intense concentration of botrytis while maintaining the feather-light, electric acidity that defines Haart's style. It is a wine of legendary precision, balancing rich, honeyed stone fruit with a profound, salty minerality derived from the ancient slate soils.
