Battenfeld Spanier

Battenfeld Spanier, located in the Rheinhessen region of Germany, was founded by the husband-and-wife team of Hans Oliver Spanier and Carolin Spanier-Battenfeld. Their passion for winemaking and a solid commitment to organic and biodynamic farming practices have been central to their philosophy since they took over the estate in the late 1990s.

The winery is dedicated to sustainable and environmentally friendly farming practices, having been certified organic and biodynamic, which involves holistic agricultural methods that consider the cycles of nature and the interconnectedness of all living organisms.

The estate owns and manages various vineyard sites across the region, each with its unique terroir, including limestone, loess, and clay soils. Their most well-known vineyard sites include Frauenberg, Scharlachberg, and Hundertgulden.

Battenfeld Spanier primarily focuses on white grape varieties. Riesling is one of their flagship grape varieties, but they also cultivate other white varietals such as Silvaner, Pinot Blanc, and Chardonnay.
