2025 Julian Haart, Moselle, Mosel

Julian Haart operates his eponymous estate in the village of Piesport, building on a regional family history of viticulture that stretches back generations. This wine is made from Riesling grown in the steep, blue slate soils of the Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, Wintricher Ohligsberg, and Piesporter Günterslay vineyards. In the glass, it shows bright notes of green apple, lime, and crushed stone, maintained by a tense, driving acidity and a barely off-dry texture. The 2025 growing season provided warm, sunny conditions that allowed for healthy fruit development and a focused, energetic profile. This is a balanced, approachable bottle that is ready to enjoy now but possesses the structural integrity to develop further with time in the cellar.
