Höhenflug Chardonnay - Thomas Hensel

The elegant Höhenflug Chardonnay from the pen of Thomas Hensel flows into the glass with a bright golden yellow. If you give it some air in the glass by swirling, you can perceive a first-class balance in this white wine, because it does not stand out on the walls of the glass watery or syrupy or liqueur-like. To the nose, this Thomas Hensel white wine presents all manner of grapefruit, lemon, pink grapefruit, mango and quince.

On the palate, the texture of this balanced white wine is wonderfully dense. With its lively fruit acidity, Höhenflug Chardonnay is impressively fresh and lively on the palate. The finale of this white wine from the wine-growing region of Palatinate, which has good aging potential, finally thrills with considerable reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral notes of the soils dominated by marl and sand.

Vinification of the Höhenflug Chardonnay by Thomas Hensel

This balanced white wine from Germany is made from the Chardonnay grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Palatinate region. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into soils of sand and marl. After harvesting, the grapes quickly reach the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. Fermentation at controlled temperatures follows. After the end of fermentation, the Höhenflug Chardonnay is aged for several months in oak barrels.
