✨ Technical Specifications
The Piesporter Schubertslay is one of the Mosel's most legendary and steep grand cru vineyards, characterized by its sheer amphitheater shape, south-facing exposure, and ancient, ungrafted Riesling vines. Julian Haart's stewardship of this historic site—following in the footsteps of his mentor Klaus Peter Keller—has cemented its mythical status. The Reserve bottling represents an ultra-precise, deep expression of these old vines, crafted with spontaneous fermentation in traditional oak Fuder and extended lees aging. This meticulous process coaxes out a breathtaking play of crystalline slate minerality, vibrant acidity, and subtle herbal and orchard fruit notes, embodying the pinnacle of Mosel Riesling craftsmanship.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 2010 by Julian and Nadine Haart, Weingut Julian Haart is situated in the historic village of Piesport along Germany's Middle Mosel. Having honed his craft under iconic masters such as Klaus Peter Keller and Egon Müller, Julian quickly established his boutique estate as one of Germany's most revered modern cult producers. Cultivating prized, precipitous slate terroirs including Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, Wintricher Ohligsberg, and the legendary ungrafted vines of Schubertslay, the winery prioritizes meticulous vineyard management and low-intervention cellar practices. Julian Haart is acclaimed for producing breathtakingly crystalline, tension-filled Rieslings and refined Pinot Noirs that showcase extraordinary precision, electric acidity, and profound site-specific minerality.
