✨ Technical Specifications
The Wintricher Ohligsberg is one of the Mosel's historic gems, a steep, south-southwest-facing amphitheater of weathered blue Devonian slate. Highly esteemed in the 19th century, this vineyard fell into relative obscurity before being resurrected by quality-minded growers like Julian Haart. The 'Nr 8' Spätlese represents a masterclass in Mosel tension. Fermented spontaneously in traditional oak Fuder, this wine captures the cool microclimate of the Ohligsberg, where cold air drainage preserves electric acidity. The result is a feather-light yet intensely concentrated Riesling, where the natural residual sweetness is perfectly balanced by a crystalline, mineral drive and delicate notes of orchard fruit and wild herbs.
🍾 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. 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.
