✨ Technical Specifications
The Schubertslay is one of the Mosel's most sacred vineyard sites, a tiny, amphitheater-like parcel in Piesport characterized by its sheer steepness and ancient, ungrafted Riesling vines, some of which are over a century old. Julian Haart crafts his Schubertslay Kabinett with extreme devotion, capturing the absolute pinnacle of feather-light precision. Fermented spontaneously with native yeasts in traditional neutral oak Fuder, this wine represents the ultimate expression of blue slate soils. It offers an electric tension between vibrant, crystalline acidity and delicate residual sweetness, resulting in a masterclass of Mosel Kabinett where intense mineral depth and floral elegance coexist in perfect harmony.
🍾 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.
