✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer

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.
