✨ Technical Specifications
The Piesporter Schubertslay is one of the Mosel's most legendary and exclusive vineyard sites. This tiny, amphitheater-like grand cru is renowned for its sheer steepness and its prized possession of extremely old, ungrafted Riesling vines, some of which are over a century old. Julian Haart, utilizing his meticulous hands-on approach, crafts an Auslese of breathtaking purity from this historic site. The terroir, dominated by soft blue Devonian slate, imparts an intense, crystalline minerality. Fermented spontaneously in traditional oak Fuder, this Auslese captures the perfect harmony of noble botrytis, luscious stone fruit concentration, and the electric, feather-light acidity that defines the very pinnacle of Mosel winemaking history.
