Kuehling-Gillot is in the best sense a business of tradition: deeply marked by our family, cosmopolitan, sincere. Our family has been involved in viniculture since the 18th century. Over the years the winery grew and today we not only own one of the best sites on the Rhine terrace, we can also claim as our own a true architectural gem: a garden similar to a park, with its renowned pavilion (which also decorates our labels) and reception halls and a vinothèque offering unequalled opportunities.

For generations women have been in charge at Kuehling-Gillot. This has also not changed in the 21st century. Since 2002, I, Carolin Spanier-Gillot, have been the responsible manager of Kuehling-Gillot. I graduated in wine-growing engineering, I am also the co-founder of the association of young winegrowers „message in a bottle“, and I am involved in the women network “vinissima“. According to some I am the whirlwind among German woman winegrowers.

Since 2006 Oliver Spanier from the winery BattenfeldSpanier and I have been married. We became parents in 2007. We would like to leave to the successive generation a healthy soil and, as a consequence, the capacity for top wines. Therefore, our winery works ecologically. As cellarmasters, my husband and I have given the wines their very own, particular signature.

Our wine philosophy is marked by a controlled laissez-faire. Great wines need time, which is what we give them during the fermentation and maturation of wines in our large traditional wooden barrels. Tradition is not an end in itself, but a quality standard.
