✨ Technical Specifications
Julian Haart's Riesling Kabinett Old Vines (often designated as 'Alte Reben') represents the pinnacle of the classic, feather-light Mosel style. Sourced from ancient, deep-rooted vines planted on precipitously steep, slate-rich slopes, this wine captures the essence of its dramatic terroir. The old vines naturally yield smaller, highly concentrated berries that balance intense mineral depth with vibrant acidity. In the cellar, Haart employs a low-intervention approach, utilizing spontaneous fermentation in traditional vessels to preserve the pristine purity of the fruit. Historically, the Mosel region has been celebrated for this unique style of Kabinett—where low alcohol, delicate residual sweetness, and a piercing backbone of acidity create an ethereal, dancing sensation on the palate that is virtually impossible to replicate anywhere else in the world.
🍾 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.
