2007 Reinhold Haart - Riesling
Est. 1382 (oldest estate in Piesport). The historic Haart estate is located at the foot of the legendary Goldtröpfchen vineyard, right along the banks of the Mosel. It is 5ha in size and is planted 100% to Riesling. By far the largest holdings are in the Piesporter Goldtröpfchen: 1.95ha. A huge emphasis is put here on natural winemaking, using native yeast fermentation, no pesticides, no herbicides, hummus fertilizers only, and eco-friendly fungicides. From a combination of younger vines and “pre-harvest” selection (Vorlese), the wine smells of apple and grapefruit. The palate is softly-textured and delicate. Displays crushed stone and a refreshing lemon/citrus flavors on the finish. |
