✨ Technical Specifications
The Wintricher Ohligsberg is a legendary steep-slope vineyard situated along a dramatic bend of the Mosel River. Renowned since the 19th century for producing some of the region's most exquisite wines, this site features a unique microclimate and soils dominated by weathered blue Devonian slate with quartz. Julian Haart's Wintricher Ohligsberg Riesling Auslese 1* is a masterclass in balance, capturing the intense concentration of noble rot while maintaining a breathtaking, feather-light agility. Harvested entirely by hand from old vines on these dizzying slopes, the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation in traditional cellars. The resulting wine is a brilliant interplay of luscious stone fruit sweetness, electric acidity, and a deep, smoky mineral tension that reflects the dramatic terroir of the 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.

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.
