The small, extremely rare ferruginous vein that colours the soil in Nackenheim and Nierstein red and enriches it with mineral prehistory is the key to an unmistakable aroma. One that is captured in a natural and authentic way at the Kühling-Gillot winery.A cuvée - in the German understanding - is the deliberate combination of different grape varieties. It is a deliberate decision to blend something good into something even better: to understand the expressive power of the individual components and to recognise how they can complement, strengthen and support each other. Such a conscious connection can also produce great things on other levels. Carolin Spanier-Gillot and her husband Hans Oliver - H.O. for short - have also entered into such a connection. She, the oenologist, whose roots lie in the family vineyard Kühling-Gillot and have made her a nature person through and through. He, the sports enthusiast, who has also gone and continues to go his successful way in the wine world with the traditional family estate Battenfeld Spanier. Since 2006, the two wineries have merged organisationally as the Spanier-Gillot winery, based in the tranquil wine town of Bodenheim, but both continue to operate independently. What unites the two spouses and winery partners is their philosophy, their clear thinking for wine and their commitment to ecological and biodynamic cultivation of the 25 hectares of vineyards on the famous Rote Hang in Rheinhessen.
