In 1991, after completing his viticulture apprenticeship, Hans Oliver Spanier founded an independent winery. Within a very short time, he became a shooting star in Rheinhessen, a pioneer of a new, very puristic style, and Battenfeld-Spanier wines have been organically certified since 1996.

The approximately 34 hectares of vineyards in prime locations in Höhen-Sülzen, Mölsheim and Zellertal are 70% planted with Riesling; the rest is shared by Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Silvaner and Chardonnay.

A wine like its terroir. The Mölsheim Riesling is characterized by wild herbs and vibrant acidity. For me, it's the younger sibling of Frauenberg. The grapes grow in organically certified vineyards on a subsoil of limestone, resulting in a wonderfully salty taste profile with pronounced minerality.

Spanier on his wine: \"The vineyards around Mölsheim are significantly cooler than our Hohen-Sülzen sites. Not only are the vineyards quite high, allowing the cooler winds of the Donnersberg massif to pass through unimpeded, but the Zellertal also narrows here, and the winds are forced through the valley like through a nozzle. The result is cooler daytime temperatures and extremely short drying periods after rainfall. The vines of Mölsheim Riesling root in bare limestone, which here is only covered by a thin layer of gravel. Vineyard work is arduous, and every year we have to remove vast quantities of limestone that literally grow out of the vineyard. This stoniness and barrenness are perfectly expressed in the minerality of the Riesling: restrained fruit, few primary aromas, but extremely delicate notes of flint and northern herbs. A Riesling that, in its interplay of acidity and minerality, is nevertheless incredibly elegant and finely chiseled. Pure limestone subsoil. Dancing minerals, salty origin character.
