Grape Masters S02E01 Kühling-Gillot & Battenfeld-Spanier

In the premiere episode of this season, we travel to Rheinhessen, Germany, to meet the dynamic duo revolutionizing the global wine scene: Carolin and H.O. Spanier. Their story is one of harmony and innovation, as they united their respective wineries, Kühling-Gillot and Battenfeld-Spanier.
Kühling-Gillot Battenfeld-Spanier (www.kuehlingan...) has risen to the German top of wine producers and is now being sought after across the world, being exported to 38 countries.
Our guest, Carolin Spanier, shares insights into the legacy of her family’s Kühling-Gillot estate, renowned for its red slate soils and distinct mineral-driven wines. She also reveals how her husband, Hans Oliver (H.O.) Spanier, transformed Battenfeld-Spanier into a pioneer of biodynamic winemaking on the limestone terroir of the Zellertal Valley.
