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 an old vineyard planted in 1925/1926 and with very small grapes that ripen very slowly--and thus late--the dry 2014 Riesling Ohligsberg indicates a super complex and spicy, almost untamed bouquet of roasted fat and tobacco flavors. This is a full-bodied, very elegant and silky, powerful and finesse-full Riesling with great freshness, grip and purity. The finish is complex, salty and very, very long. This is very well defined and with lemon flavors in the aftertaste. Great terroir Riesling that I would love to compare with Rieslings from Heymann-Löwenstein, Schäfer-Fröhlich and Keller.

This issues from 90-year-old vines, and I suspect it has been a long time if ever since these were given an opportunity like this to demonstrate their potential. A nose-tweaking aromatic assault of lemon and grapefruit zests, Latakia tobacco and tincture of iodine serves notice of the multifaceted display to come. Brightly juicy, zesty citrus, smoky tobacco and a sweet-saline, mineral-animal savor that I can only compare to a rich lobster shell reduction wake up the mouth and milk the salivary glands. Yet for all of this Riesling’s vivacity and buoyancy, it also offers oily richness of texture and palpably high extract. The finish – and indeed this performance as a whole, like that of its Goldtröpfchen counterpart – is vibrant, formidable and gripping, offering remarkable evidence that Mosel Riesling was capable of greatness and potential longevity even from a heavily rained-on, rot- and acescence-plagued vintage!
