More information about Höhenflug Sauvignon Blanc - Thomas Hensel

Thomas Hensel's Höhenflug Sauvignon Blanc shines brilliant golden yellow in the glass and reveals to the nose unimaginably dense and expressive aromas of tropical fruits such as grapefruit, golden kiwi and physalis, complemented by ripe apple, fresh brioche, cassis and vanilla.

On the palate, Hensel's Höhenflug Sauvignon Blanc starts out exceptionally full-bodied and lush. The mouthfeel of this fumé-like Sauvignon Blanc is creamy and full. The present acidity provides a premium balance of opulence and freshness. A complex and powerful white wine.

Vinification of the Hensel Höhenflug Sauvignon Blanc

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes for Thomas' Höhenflug come from the best sites around Dürkheim. After harvesting, the grapes are destemmed, the berries are crushed and the must is pressed after a short standing time. The Höhenflug Sauvignon Blanc is then fermented and aged partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in barriques, giving the wine a fumé Loire style.
