More information about Höhenflug Merlot - Thomas Hensel

The Höhenflug Merlot from Thomas Hensel shines in a dense purple red in the glass. Aromatic red fruits beguile the nose, above all cherries, but also ripe plums. Dark berries such as blueberries and black currants complement the fruit of the bouquet. Spicy nuances of cigar box, some beech smoke, cedar, toasted brown bread, but also cocoa and a hint of cinnamon complete the aromatics of the nose.

On the nose, Thomas Hensel's Höhenflug Merlot is wonderfully dense, with velvety, soft tannins. A long finish promises great pleasure. A great red wine, which still has some development potential.

Vinification of the Hensel Höhenflug Merlot

Tomas Hensel ages his Merlot in wooden barrels, so that the wine convinces with spice and complex tannins in addition to its lush fruit.

Food recommendation for the Höhenflug Merlot by Hensel

Enjoy this wonderfully expressive red wine from the Palatinate with roasted leg of lamb or simply neat.
