Kühling-Gillot & Battenfeld-Spanier
Vines planted in 1934 that have never seen a rootstock – a treasure that survived phylloxera. Kühling-Gillot and Battenfeld-Spanier unite two VDP estates under biodynamic philosophy. At the Roten Hang, rotliegende meets calcareous soils in the Wonnegau. The Großen Gewächse from Pettenthal, Hipping and Rothenberg rank among the finest German Rieslings.

More about Kühling-Gillot & Battenfeld-Spanier
Own-rooted vines from the 1930s
In the vineyard site "Kapellchen" in Rothenberg stand vines planted in 1934 – own-rooted, without the usual American rootstock. A relic from the time before the law mandated phylloxera-resistant rootstocks. Hans Oliver Spanier calls this parcel "the DNA of German Riesling". Here the Rothenberg GG wurzelecht is produced, which in 2018 was awarded 100 points by Gault & Millau as Germany's best dry Riesling.
Two terroirs, one signature
The constellation is unique: Kühling-Gillot manages the legendary vineyard sites on the Roten Hang between Nierstein and Nackenheim – Pettenthal, Hipping, Ölberg and Rothenberg. Weathered Rotliegendes shapes the wines here with smoky minerality. Battenfeld-Spanier in Wonnegau and Zellertal works on chalky soils that give Riesling a different texture: tighter, cooler, with saline precision. In the Zellerweg am Schwarzen Herrgott this style reaches its peak.
Biodynamics as guiding principle
Since 2005, both estates have worked biodynamically. Preparations 500 and 501 are used regularly, lunar phases determine the rhythm of vineyard work. Spontaneous fermentation in large wooden barrels and steel tanks, minimal sulphur use, no fining agents – the cellar is a place of accompaniment, not correction. In the vineyard sites Pettenthal, Hipping and Ölberg, Carolin and H.O. share the Roten Hang with Kai Schätzel – neighbours in the vineyard, like-minded in philosophy.
The Treasure Collection
A long-cherished plan of H.O. Spanier: A maturation cellar where wines age under ideal conditions until they reach their optimal drinking maturity. The "Treasure Collection" comprises Rieslings from various vintages released as late releases – such as the Mölsheim 2019. The minimal premium over the current vintage is more than justified: these wines hit the mark perfectly.
