A bone-dry (Trocken) style from the famed vineyard in Piesporter that translates to "droplets of gold". Spontaneously fermented in stainless steel; tart and spicy early in life but develops into a wine of creamy orchard & stone fruit flavors.

Julian Haart, that is - the prodigious German winemaker who somehow already has a decade of vintages under his belt after working beneath two behemoths: the living legends Egon Müller and Klaus-Peter Keller.

Julian Haart

Training in any profession is important. Just like we sommeliers and former hospitality pros were poked and prodded for "star hunting", or shipping around to different Michelin-starred restaurants in lieu of a longstanding career at one of them, the future rockstars of the wine world seem determined to seek out differing beliefs and methods to learn from while they hone their own eventual vinous vision. So it is that Julian Haart spent time with two luminaries of Germany in Egon Müller and KP Keller - producers of many of the most sought-after (and pricy!) wines in the world!

Julian's first vineyard purchase was in the Grand Cru Ohligsberg; he followed this with the purchase of a parcel in the 75+ year-old, terraced Goldtröpfchen ("droplets of gold"); Schubertslay, home to century-old, ungrafted vines came a year later, a whole one hectare of vines (that's like a midwesterner's front yard). In 2018, Haart graciously gifted Schubertslay to Klaus Peter Keller in return for access to Keller's Frauenberg vineyard. 

Julian's wines have garnered acclaim around the globe, and cult-like status with smart collectors who believe his wines possess unrivaled purity and class. Equally astute with dry as well as off-dry and sweet styles, Julian has even tried his hand at Pinot Noir, as well! Safe to say, whatever he creates we will seek out!

"Julian's red label bottlings are playful, fresh and graciously showcase the talents of this young winemaker," Doug continued. "Although these cuvees are not a part of the Prädikat system, they still represent the region beautifully."

From a southwest-facing parcel planted in 1905, the 2014 Riesling Goldtröpfchen offers a deep and spicy/slate-like bouquet that displays stony flavors along with grapefruit and lemon aromas. Round, pure and elegant on the palate, this is a very intense and rich, silky textured Goldtröpfchen with an impressive power, length and complexity. I wonder if this fully dry Riesling could have been a bit more vibrant and refreshing if it had been picked earlier? At least it would not have lost complexity as the Schubertslay demonstrates that was picked with just 80° Oechsle.

This is an explosively concentrated, vibrant variation on the themes struck by Haart’s corresponding “village” bottling – not so surprisingly, since that too is sourced from the great Goldtröpfchen. Penetrating aromatically as well as on the palate, its brightly juicy lemon, orange and grapefruit are piquantly marked by citrus zest and seeds, lavender, toasted hickory notes and white pepper. The overall effect is of relentless cheek-tugging and even some tear-jerking! A sweaty salinity makes for a mouthwatering finish that is also strikingly marked by smoky, stony inflections. Although it boasts only a few grams of residual sugar, this still weighs in at a buoyant 12 percent alcohol, and needless to say given my tasting note, that did not come at the expense of any flavor dilution!
