  March 17, 2019 - Modest tropical sensation, hint of petro, green apples and peaches, on the palate, super mineral with strong salinity into finish, very special expression. Interested in trying more his wines going forward

  There are no additions of any kind: no cultured yeast, enzymes and no süssreserve His collection also includes ‘village’ wines: labeled Dhroner Riesling and all sourced from the Hofberg, as well as Piesporter which is sourced entirely from his parcels in the Goldtröpfchen. Pradikät designate wines are produced from Has’chen, Goldtropfchen, and Hofberg. Andreas says of his philosophy: “I sustain my vineyards by intensive soil work to bring out the essential nutrients up from the primary rock, the natural compost of a vineyard. This completion of the bond between elemental soil and the work of the vintner is another piece in the puzzle of terroir… I think in Germany we see terroir as a unity of grape, climate, soil, and the mentality of the person who works the vineyard. But the essence of that mentality is a knowledge that the geology of his terrain indeed creates the flavors in the grapes which grow there.”

  May 12, 2018 - Regular dinner group (By PvD @ Fitzgerald): Soft tropical impression, some petrol, white fruits and minerals. Beautiful wine.

  March 15, 2017 - Usually I'm a fan of this wine (from Haart's vineyards), but this one comes across as heavy, oily, with overwhelming notes of petrol. More Alsatian in feel and style. Not particularly exciting.

  May 11, 2014 - Very good dry Piesporter Riesling from Julian Haart from the local Haart family who make wines from Goldtropfchen around 700 years, among the longest period by one family at one place in Europe, and AJ Adam. AJ A dam wines are ok but a bit overrated, Haart's however, are in Mosel's top and this is no exception. Minerality, acidity and tropical fruits (guave & cas) in a complex, full bodied freshness hard to beat. Great with home-made crab cake.

  November 24, 2013 - Moderate acidity (for a german riesling) and fruits so ripe they seemed almost Alsatian and tropical.
