Great wines need great names. Thus, the name taken from Greek mythology is a good choice for the Hensel Icarus. The wine is made from the Cabernet Cubin grape variety. It is vinified only in vintages that produce extraordinary grapes. The grapes for this wine come from a new line created in 1970 by crossing the Blaufränkisch and Cabernet Sauvignon grape varieties. The Hensel estate has long experimented with this grape variety, so that some of the vines are more than 40 years old. Although this leads to low yields, the grapes are extremely powerful.

The Hensel Ikarus is a shimmering deep purple in the glass and offers rich berry flavours. We recommend decanting the wine before drinking it as the wine needs some time to open up. After a breathing period, the wine offers aromas of ripe berries on the palate, along with intense notes of coffee and delicious nuances of tobacco.

The athletic tannins reveal the Hensel Ikarus’ great potential. It’s a wine that will bring you great pleasure for many years to come – ‘Feels Like Heaven’.

Hensel Höhenflug Cuvée Rotwein

The Hensel Höhenflug Cuvée Rotwein (red wine) proves that the international grape varieties Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah can also produce excellent wines in Germany.Meticulously selected grapes from the estate’s best vineyards are perfectly matched to create this cuvée. The wine is redolent of allspice and hot black pepper, along with notes of sour cherries and dried foliage.The Höhenflug Cuvée Rotwein (red wine) was aged in heavily toasted wooden casks, giving the wine a fine note of wood enveloped in cassis, elder and blackberries. 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. The red wine is extremely powerful.It goes beautifully with pasta or lasagne with hearty meat sauces and is an ideal accompaniment to barbecue, steaks and game dishes. It is also lovely to enjoy with a piece of good Morbier cheese.

Markus Molitor Pinot Noir Brauneberger Klostergarten**

The Vinum magazine writes about this wine: “A spectacular combination of fullness, body and delicacy – a great Moselle Pinot Noir.” The Brauneberger Klostergarten Pinot Noir from the Markus Molitor estate has a nose redolent of Morello cherries, bilberries and blackberries, complemented by a fine herbal spice and delicate hints of noble wood and toasted notes. After all, this red wine from the Rhineland-Palatinate matured for 15 months in French barriques. On the palate, the ruby-red wine is tight, complex and wonderfully well-balanced. The noticeable tannins are nicely integrated and the finish shows a lovely minerality from the slate-dominated vineyards on the Central Moselle. The Brauneberger Klostergarten vineyard is divided into two steep and two moderately sloping parcels of land with fine crushed slate soil and a high stone content. These parcels of land are planted mainly with Pinot noir grapes of French origin. In this Brauneberger Klostergarten Pinot Noir you’ll discover a fascinating Palatinate red wine for the most discerning tastes.

Hensel Höhenflug Merlot

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.

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.
