BATTENFELD SPANIER

Rheinhessen, Germany

Hans Oliver Spanier launched Battenfeld Spanier in 1993 when he was just 20 years old. He and his wife Carolin, who also leads Kühling-Gillot, now run the winery together. Their first goal when they took over the property was converting to a full organic practice, which has since been certified biodynamic. In the vineyard, much of their attention is paid to the maintenance of soil - more specifically its microbial health - as they find this is the most important element to execute their focus in Riesling.
