The 2024 Julian Haart Mosel Riesling QbA is a beautifully balanced Mosel Riesling from Germany, crafted by acclaimed winemaker Julian Haart. Sourced from the estate's steep, slate-rich vineyards around Piesport, the hand-picked fruit is fermented with indigenous yeasts in a combination of stainless steel tanks and traditional old Mosel Fuder oak casks, preserving purity while adding texture and complexity. The nose is expressive with aromas of ripe peach, pineapple and blackcurrant, complemented by notes of lime zest, crushed slate and delicate floral lift.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully textured, off-dry profile. Flavours of white peach, green apple and citrus are layered with hints of minerality and wet slate, leading to a long, refreshing finish with excellent precision. The balance of ripe fruit, lively acidity and subtle residual sweetness makes this an approachable yet authentic expression of classic Mosel Riesling.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for lovers of classic Mosel Riesling with freshness, elegance and outstanding drinkability. Pair it with fresh seafood, spicy Thai or Vietnamese cuisine, roast pork or soft goat's cheese. Enjoy now while its vibrant fruit and mineral character are at their peak, or cellar for 8–10 years to develop greater honeyed complexity and depth.
