Kühling-Gillot Hase Sauvignon Blanc dry

An everyday white wine that needs no long explanations – fresh, aromatic, and ready to drink immediately. The Hase from Kühling-Gillot is the uncomplicated entry into the world of one of the most well-known biodynamic wineries in Rheinhessen.

Kühling-Gillot has been managing its vineyards around Oppenheim and Nierstein for years according to biodynamic principles – Demeter-certified, with consistent avoidance of synthetic pesticides. The Hase stands for the accessible side of the winery: no wood, no long maceration time, no effort in the cellar that covers the natural character of the grape variety. Sauvignon Blanc shows itself in Rheinhessen with a somewhat softer acid structure than, for example, in the Loire – riper fruit profile, less edge.

In the glass, gooseberry and white peach dominate, complemented by citrus peel and a fresh apricot note in the background. The palate is light-footed and sparkling, the acidity enlivens without dominating. No fat, no wood, long fruit finish with a green, slightly herbal note – typical for the grape variety.
