The vineyard Zellerweg am Schwarzen Herrgott, on the border between Rheinhessen and the Palatinate, is a Riesling site characterised by limestone and sparse soil. The wines produced here by the Battenfeld-Spanier winery and its winemaker, Hans Oliver Spanier, focus less on fruit and more on spice and tension. The 2025 vintage, as always, is unconventional and, for that very reason, fascinating: cool, taut and brimming with energy. The fruit is precise, with stone fruit and yellow apple, followed by a hint of flint. A lovely balance of concentration and crisp acidity. Impressive length.
