✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the visionary Julian Haart, the Wintricher Riesling is a brilliant village-level expression that captures the dramatic, steep-slope terroir of Wintrich in the Middle Mosel. Sourced from parcels rich in weathered blue slate and quartz, this wine benefits from the same meticulous, hands-on organic farming that Haart applies to his grand cru sites. In the cellar, the juice undergoes spontaneous fermentation in traditional oak Fuder and stainless steel, preserving the electric tension and crystalline purity of the fruit. Historically, Wintrich has been celebrated for its intense, mineral-driven wines, and Haart's interpretation beautifully honors this legacy, offering a masterclass in Mosel precision, vibrant acidity, and smoky, slate-inflected depth.
🍾 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.
