Routinely one of the best Kabinett wines across the vintage in Germany, Julian's Goldtropfchen Kabi has the classically white- & citrus-fruited nose with ample white flowers and delicate spice. There is undeniable lift and striking brightness to perfectly couple with the dollop of sweetness. One of our favorites!

We have sourced them from some of our clients' private cellars, our friends in Europe, direct from the domaine or through our other trusted networks. On each product you will note an estimated time of arrival. Understand that these are only estimates, and to ensure that your wine arrives safely it may be longer.

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."

Opening clear, pure and interesting but still pretty reductive on the nose, the 2015 Riesling Goldtröpfchen Kabinett is a bit untamed and herbal at this stage. Light, round, lush and piquant on the palate, with a lot of salt and roughly 50 grams of unfermented sugar, this is a lean and racy Goldtröpfchen with a lot of Saar features.

Picked at 84 Oechsle (its 2014 predecessor came in at 80) and fermented only to 7.5 percent alcohol (a whole point less than that 2014), this still somehow manages to harbor only marginally more residual sugar than the 2014, and the 60 grams in question does not engender dominant sweetness. A youthfully yeasty, cheesy veil has to part before scents of grapefruit, lemon and red currants emerge. Those fruits dominate a firm, juicy, zesty, buoyant palate and a lusciously lingering finish transparent to stony and pungently green herbal nuances. (Unbeknownst to me when I tasted with him, Haart bottled a Kabinett labeled “J.J.” from younger vines in Goldtröpfchen. I could not subsequently connect with a bottle.)
