  • About the Producer

    When Oliver Spanier of Battenfeld-Spanier married Carolin Gillot of Kühling-Gillot in 2016, it brought together two of Rheinhessen’s leading estates, and created its most glamorous couple. The wines are marketed separately, but he is the winemaker for both.

    Kühling-Gillot’s prime holdings are on the Roter Hang (red slope), an iron-rich strip between Nierstein and Nackenheim along the Rhine, which includes the vineyards of Hipping, Pettenthal, Ölberg, Rothenberg, and Orbel. There are further vineyards in Oppenheim and Bodenheim.

    Battenfeld-Spanier lies in the southern-most part of Rheinhessen, and the vines are grown on limestone, which gives them a lifted, citrus character. The estate converted to organic viticulture in 1992, and biodynamic in 1995. Both of them are now farmed biodynamically. If Prüm made wines in Rheinhessen, this is what they would be like: beautifully pure, restrained, and with the promise of a long life.

    In late 2019 Battenfeld-Spanier was given the coveted 5-grape-cluster award by the Gault-Millau guide, while Kühling-Gillot was promoted to 4-grape cluster. They are now amongst the most highly regarded producers in Germany, a fantastic achievement.

  • About the Latest Vintage

    With their limited arsenal for combating disease, 2021 was tough for biodynamic growers.

    Extreme vigilance was required to spray at the right times, even on Sundays, and the team put in 6,000 hours more than the norm to keep things on track, largely spent leaf-plucking and green harvesting. From October the weather was warm and fine, and the long-awaited ripeness finally came. The harvest was extremely long, lasting nearly eight weeks, with forty-five pickers on standby for the right conditions, and fourteen strong in the cellar to process the grapes. Apparently a lot of beer was consumed.

    The wines are as lovely and precise as ever, beautifully elegant and fine.
