After apprenticing under Egon Müller and Klaus Peter Keller, which is the equivalent to receiving your PhD from Harvard Law, Julian went on to start his own label in 2010. Since the first vintage his wines have been worth watching. The evolution is incredible, vintage after vintage the wines just get better and better. The estate has grown to a little more than four hectares and this is, roughly, where Julian wants it to stay. Part of the joy of winemaking, for Julian, is doing everything, just he and his wife Nadine, and maybe some friends. '1,000L' refers to the size of the of barrels traditionally used in the Mosel- The Foudre.  The overall style is clearly a type of Mosel-hommage to Keller. The wines showcase a glossy, super-pure fruit that shrieks across the palate with a pushing, sharply delineated acidity. Pulverized slate, polished to a fine dust, coats everything.
