✨ Technical Specifications
The Wintricher Ohligsberg is one of the Mosel's most historic and prestigious steep-slope vineyards, celebrated since the 19th century for producing wines of immense complexity and longevity. Facing south-southwest on weathered blue Devonian slate, this grand cru site benefits from a unique microclimate shaped by the winding Mosel River. Julian Haart's Wintricher Ohligsberg Riesling Auslese 2* represents the pinnacle of noble sweet winemaking. Crafted from meticulously hand-selected, botrytised grapes, this wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation in traditional oak Fuder. The result is a breathtakingly complex nectar where rich, honeyed concentration is perfectly counterbalanced by the electric, mineral-driven acidity characteristic of the Ohligsberg terroir.
🍾 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.
