✨ Technical Specifications
The Wintricher Ohligsberg is a legendary steep site on the Mosel, historically revered on old vineyard maps as a premier cru location on par with the region's absolute finest. Julian Haart's Wintricher Ohligsberg Riesling Auslese 3* represents the pinnacle of sweet winemaking from this spectacular, southwest-facing amphitheater of weathered blue slate. The '3*' designation denotes an uncompromising selection of the finest, botrytis-affected berries, harvested by hand with painstaking precision. Fermented spontaneously, this rare nectar captures the dramatic tension between opulent, honeyed tropical fruit and a piercing, mineral-drenched acidity. It is a masterclass in balance, offering weightless intensity and a profound expression of Mosel's unique slate 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.

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.
