The Wintricher Ohligsberg is one of the Mosel's most historic and steep grand cru sites, characterized by its weathered gray slate, quartz, and iron-rich soils. Historically celebrated alongside the region's finest vineyards, this site yields wines of incredible tension. Julian Haart's Riesling Auslese from the Ohligsberg is a profound expression of noble sweetness balanced by a vibrant, crystalline acidity. Crafted with minimal intervention and spontaneous fermentation, this wine captures the essence of botrytis-affected grapes, offering complex layers of stone fruits, honey, and intense slate minerality.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 2010 by Julian Haart in the historic winegrowing village of Piesport, this Mosel estate has quickly risen to cult status. Having trained under legendary mentors like Klaus Peter Keller and Egon Müller, Haart applies a meticulous, hands-on approach to farming steep, slate-rich grand cru vineyards such as Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, Schubertslay, and Wintricher Ohligsberg. The estate's winemaking philosophy relies on organic viticulture, spontaneous fermentation in traditional oak Fuder, and minimal intervention to preserve the natural tension and purity of the fruit. Julian Haart is globally celebrated for producing incredibly precise, mineral-driven, and elegant Rieslings, particularly his legendary, feather-light Kabinett expressions.
