The Merlot grape is one of the most popular grape varieties ever and is cultivated almost all over the world. It is, however, very difficult to make a top-quality wine from these grapes. With its Höhenflug Merlot, the Hensel winery succeeded in this. The grapes for this wine are harvested as late as possible to capture the last rays of sunshine of the year, resulting in a very concentrated wine that is an intense cherry-red in colour. The wine has a wonderful bouquet offering fragrances of ripe morello cherries and bilberries, complemented by nuances of elder and slightly smoky notes. On the palate, the Hensel Höhenflug Merlot shows lots of melt and an exotic spice. This Merlot was aged in new barriques, giving the wine noticeable but soft tannins, richness and powerful body. This is a red wine from the Palatinate to fall in love with.

Try the Hensel Höhenflug Merlot with duck breast or fried chicken. It is also an ideal accompaniment to various cheeses.

On the palate, the wine is incredibly multi-layered and complex.Despite its power, the Höhenflug Cuvée is wonderfully balanced. Its finish is characterised by aromas of tobacco and vanilla. After decanting, the wine can already be enjoyed now but several years of ageing in the bottle will further enhance its qualities.

It is also lovely to enjoy with a piece of good Morbier cheese.

Hensel Aufwind Cabernet-Merlot Rosé
Hensel Aufwind Cabernet-Merlot Rosé
The Hensel Aufwind Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Rosé is a vivid garnet-red in colour. The wine’s intense colour reflects its expressive fragrances. Initially, the wine is redolent of strawberries and raspberries. The bouquet is subsequently enriched by notes of red bell peppers and hints of vanilla, along with nuances of slightly spicy herbs. On the palate, the wine is complex and powerful, almost reminiscent of a red wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon gives the wine a fine tannin structure and a lush body, while the Merlot provides lovely fruity notes and gives the Aufwind Rosé a wonderful harmony. This wine is therefore an ideal accompaniment to summer barbecue, as well as a warming delight to enjoy on its own in autumn and winter.
