Julian Haart Mosel Riesling QBA 2023
$66.00From grapes grown in the Grand Cru of Goldtropchen, though not from one of Julien’s vineyards. Despite this, I believe the ‘Mosel’ riesling to be the emblematic wine of the estate, at least in so far as, if you wanted to drink in the full glory of Julien Haart at an affordable price, this is […]
