✨ Technical Specifications
The Wintricher Ohligsberg is a legendary steep site along the Mosel, historically ranked alongside the region's finest crus. Its name, referencing the historic oil mills that once stood nearby, speaks to a long lineage of agricultural heritage. Here, the vines cling to weathered blue devonian slate soils on a sheer, southwest-facing amphitheater. Julian Haart coaxes an ethereal brilliance from this terroir, crafting a Wintricher Ohligsberg Riesling Kabinett that is a masterclass in tension. It balances a feather-light body with electric acidity and a deep, saline minerality. Fermented spontaneously with native yeasts, this wine captures the cool-climate energy of the Mosel, offering a crystalline purity and a delicate, dancing sweetness that defines the classic Kabinett style.
