Weingut Battenfeld-Spanier ★ 4.6

H.O. Spanier and Carolin Spanier-Gillot work 50 hectares at Hohen-Suelzen under EU-Bio certification with uncertified biodynamic practice since 2005 (La Renaissance des Appellations member), across Frauenberg, Kirchenstueck and Am schwarzen Herrgott Riesling Grosse Lage parcels.

Tip: The Frauenberg CHF Riesling is the estate's biodynamic signature; the single-barrel bottling reads the Wonnegau limestone in extreme detail.
