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."

The 2016 Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Trocken displays a beautifully clear, elegant and complex bouquet of ripe, elegant fruit aromas intertwined with fine and flinty slate notes. Full-bodied, intense and long on the palate, this is an elegant, complex, silky textured dry Riesling with impressive fruit intensity and firm yet fine and persistent structure. A great Goldtröpfchen indeed. Tasted April 2018.

From the same more-than-100-year-old vines that have informed the last two such bottlings, this year’s Goldtröpfchen sans Prädikat is not only (like last year’s) dry, but it’s dry to the extent of harboring just two grams per liter of residual sugar. Like the corresponding “village-level” offering, this is strikingly dominated on nose and palate by stone, ash, smoke and marine salinity. To be sure, site-typical citrus and cassis notes emerge as well. But the concentrated, glossy palate reminds me in its mineral and animal dimensions of fish oils. As with so many of the best dry 2016s, this somehow combines a formidable sense of stuffing with alcoholic levity (even though it reached 12%). Citrus seed and nut piquancy adds stimulation to a seriously sustained finish featuring myriad, undulating layers of flavor in a fruit-and-mineral bath.
