Aufwind Spätburgunder - Thomas Hensel

The Aufwind Spätburgunder from the pen of Thomas Hensel from the Palatinate reveals a bright, light red color in the swirled glass. The nose of this red wine from the Palatinate enchants with nuances of pineapple, blueberry, physalis and Gallia melon. If we trace the aromatics further, gingerbread spice, dark chocolate and cinnamon are added.

The Thomas Hensel Aufwind Pinot Noir impresses with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. This is a real quality wine, which clearly stands out from simpler qualities and so this German wine enchants naturally with all dryness with the finest balance. Excellent taste does not necessarily need a lot of sugar. Balanced and complex, this dense red wine presents itself on the palate. The finale of this red wine from the Pfalz wine-growing region, which is capable of aging, finally thrills with considerable reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral hints of the marl and clay dominated soils.

Vinification of the Thomas Hensel Aufwind Pinot Noir

The balanced Aufwind Spätburgunder from Germany is a single varietal wine, vinified from the Spätburgunder grape variety. In the Palatinate region, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of clay, loess and marl. The grapes for this red wine from Germany, when perfectly ripe, are harvested exclusively by hand. After the hand harvest, the grapes are quickly transferred to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully ground. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by aging for several months on the fine lees before the wine is finally drawn off.
