✨ Technical Specifications
Perched on an incredibly steep, amphitheater-like bend of the Mosel River, the Piesporter Schubertslay is a legendary grand cru vineyard renowned for its ancient, ungrafted Riesling vines rooted in pure blue slate. Julian Haart coaxes an ethereal complexity from this historic site, which is widely considered one of the crown jewels of the region. The 'Nr2' designation refers to a specific, highly curated Fuder cask selection. Produced using traditional, low-intervention methods including spontaneous fermentation in old oak barrels, this Spätlese beautifully balances the natural residual sweetness of late-harvested grapes with a striking, electric vein of slate-driven acidity. It is a masterclass in tension, offering a weightless yet intensely aromatic profile filled with stone fruits, white flowers, and smoky mineral undertones.

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.
