Kühling-Gillot Hase Sauvignon Blanc dry

An everyday white wine that needs no lengthy explanation – fresh, aromatic, and ready to drink. The Hase from Kühling-Gillot is the uncomplicated introduction to the world of one of Rheinhessen's most renowned biodynamic wineries.

Kühling-Gillot has cultivated its vineyards around Oppenheim and Nierstein according to biodynamic principles for years – Demeter-certified, with a consistent avoidance of synthetic pesticides. The hare symbolizes the approachable side of the winery: no oak, no long maceration, no intervention in the cellar that masks the natural character of the grape variety. Sauvignon Blanc in Rheinhessen exhibits a somewhat softer acidity than, for example, in the Loire – a riper fruit profile, less sharp.

In the glass, gooseberry and white peach dominate, complemented by citrus zest and a fresh apricot note in the background. The palate is light and lively, the acidity invigorating without being overpowering. No heavyness, no oak, a long fruity finish with a green, slightly herbal note – typical of the grape variety.
