✨ Technical Specifications
The Wintricher Ohligsberg is a legendary steep site on the Mosel, historically ranked among the finest vineyards of the region. Julian Haart's dry Riesling from this Grand Cru site captures the intense, mineral-drenched character of its weathered blue slate and quartz soils. Fermented spontaneously with native yeasts, this wine balances a razor-sharp acidity with a rich, textured mid-palate, offering notes of wet stone, white peach, and wild herbs. It represents the pinnacle of modern dry Mosel Riesling, combining feather-light elegance with profound structural tension.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 2010 by Julian Haart alongside his wife Nadine, Weingut Julian Haart has rapidly emerged as one of the Mosel's most revered artisan domains. Born into a multi-century Piesport winegrowing lineage, Julian refined his craft through pivotal apprenticeships under icons Egon Müller, Klaus Peter Keller, and Werner Schönleber. The estate farms approximately five hectares, centering on vertigo-inducing, blue-slate Grand Cru terraces in the Mosel—notably Wintricher Ohligsberg and Piesporter Goldtröpfchen—alongside prestigious limestone parcels in Rheinhessen obtained through parcel exchanges with Keller. Viticulture relies entirely on meticulous manual labor without synthetic inputs, preserving ungrafted, century-old vines. In the cellar, Haart practices spontaneous fermentation in traditional neutral wooden Fuder and stainless steel with minimal intervention. The resulting Rieslings, ranging from razor-sharp dry Kalkstein and site bottlings to ethereal Kabinetts, display crystalline precision, saline tension, filigreed sweetness, and profound slate-driven minerality.
