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."

Picked eight days later than the Kabinett with 85° Oechsle, the 2014 Riesling Schubertslay Spätlese is a very lush and juicy, but also fine and elegant Riesling with a stimulating salinity in the finish. Very good, but almost a wasted talent compared to the Kabinett.

Yet more delicate than its two immediate siblings, but also looser in midpalate, this boasts a cooling impression of honeydew melon, apple and grapefruit laced with green herbal and floral concentrates. A faintly honeyed note in the soothingly lingering finish points to a discreet presence of botrytis, but that in no way detracts from the wine’s alluring florality, nor obscures a vivid sense of stony underpinnings. The 50 grams of residual sugar present here is actually marginally less than that harbored by this year’s Goldtröpfchen Kabinett, but strikes me as ideally judged. “You don’t want too sweetish an impression or you’ll lose the fineness,” remarked Haart, with wisdom beyond his years, not to mention contrary to what has become standard Mosel practice.
