✨ Technical Specifications
The Schubertslay is a mythical vineyard site in the Mosel, a sheer wall of blue slate rising directly above the river. This tiny, grand cru parcel is home to precious, ungrafted Riesling vines, some of which are over a century old. Julian Haart's Piesporter Schubertslay Riesling Kabinett Nr6 represents the pinnacle of Mosel's feather-light yet intensely complex style. The wine is born from these ancient vines, clinging to the precipitous cliffs where every single task must be performed by hand. Haart's masterful touch yields a Kabinett of crystalline purity, where the natural residual sweetness is perfectly countered by a laser-like beam of slate-driven acidity. It is a masterclass in tension, offering delicate notes of white peach, wet stone, and spring blossoms, underpinned by a profound, salty minerality that lingers indefinitely.
🍾 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.
