✨ Technical Specifications
The Piesporter Schubertslay is one of the Mosel's most legendary and steepest grand cru vineyards, renowned for its ancient, ungrafted Riesling vines that cling to sheer cliffs of blue Devonian slate. Julian Haart's Kabinett from this historic site is a masterclass in tension and weightlessness. The vineyard's unique microclimate and old-vine heritage yield fruit of immense concentration, yet Haart coaxes out an ethereal, feather-light profile. Crafted using traditional spontaneous fermentation in neutral oak Fuder, this wine captures the crystalline purity, electric acidity, and deep mineral resonance that define the pinnacle of Mosel Riesling. It is a liquid testament to the extreme viticulture of the region, where every grape must be harvested by hand on dizzying slopes.
🍾 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.
