Vineyards and Terroir
The estate covers 9 hectares, all on steep vineyard sites in the Middle Mosel. The three key parcels are Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, Piesporter Grafenberg, and Wintricher Ohligsberg. Soils vary across the holdings but are dominated by blue-grey Devonian slate alongside quartzite, clay, red slate, and iron oxide-rich soils. The cool continental climate is moderated by the Mosel River, helping to preserve the natural acidity that defines the estate's wines. Vines are hand-harvested, with some exceeding 80 years of age.

Winemaking Philosophy
Reinhold Haart produces exclusively Riesling across its entire 9-hectare estate. Yields are kept low through strict pruning practices, and grapes are hand-harvested. Fermentation is conducted at cool temperatures using natural yeasts, a method that supports the development of complexity and preserves varietal character. The range spans from dry Grosses Gewächs to the richest noble sweet expressions, including Auslese and Beerenauslese, giving the estate's wines a breadth that reflects the full potential of Piesport's terroir.
- 100% Riesling cultivation across all holdings
- Cool fermentation with natural yeasts
- Low yields achieved through strict pruning
- Style range from dry Grosses Gewächs to noble sweet Beerenauslese
