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.
