Nestled in Piesport, at the heart of the Mosel Valley, Julian Haart emerges as the youthful luminary of German winemaking, boasting an illustrious education cultivated through immersive experiences with Heymann-Löwenstein, Emrich-Schönleber, Egon Müller, and Klaus Peter Keller. With a meticulously tended estate spanning just over four hectares, Julian embraces the joy of winemaking on a human scale, personally undertaking vineyard work with his wife Nadine and friends amid the steep, terraced landscapes that define his vineyards. Balancing on the edge of perilous inclines, every aspect, from grape cultivation to winemaking, is a labor of love done by hand.
Julian's vision extends beyond the rugged terrain – he envisions his estate remaining at this intimate scale, a testament to the passion he invests in crafting superlative dry wines. His commitment to vineyard expression over mere fruit shines through, with natural fermentation and a cellar temperature held at a steady 20ºC, allowing the terroir to assert itself in each bottle. Across the spectrum, from brilliance to elegance, Julian Haart's wines epitomize a dedication to the craft that is as steeped in tradition as his terraced vineyards.
A beautifully fine and elegant Kabinett Riesling with pure expressions of orchard fruits, brilliant acidity, some residual sweetened and a spine of minerality. This punches way above its price point and represents just how good Mosel Riesling truly is.
