✨ Technical Specifications
Julian Haart's Wintricher Ohligsberg Riesling is a masterclass in Mosel precision, sourced from one of the region's most historic and steep grand cru sites. The Ohligsberg vineyard, an amphitheater-like slope of weathered blue Devonian slate and quartz, was highly celebrated in the 19th century for its powerful yet elegant wines. Haart, drawing on his training with legendary mentors, employs meticulous organic farming and spontaneous fermentation in traditional vessels to preserve the site's distinct voice. The wine is renowned for its striking tension, weaving together intense stone fruit, wild herbal notes, and a deep, salty mineral core driven by electric acidity.
🍾 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.
