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
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.

Diese beliebte Cuvée vereint im facettenreichen Bouquet würzige Noten von Cassis, Tabak, Kaffee und Zeder. Am Gaumen ist die Komposition aus Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot und Cabernet Franc dicht und intensiv, mit reifen, wunderbar eingebundenen Tanninen sowie einer großen Länge. Die Trauben wachsen in den besten, von Kalkgestein geprägten Lagen des renommierten Weingutes aus der Pfalz. Der Ertrag wurde durch kurzen Rebschnitt und die sogenannte grüne Lese (das Ausdünnen oder Auslichten der unreifen Trauben) während des Sommers stark reduziert. So entsteht der dichte und intensive Wein.Entdecken Sie diesen herausragenden Rotwein aus der Pfalz zu Kurzgebratenem und Schmorgerichten vom Lamm, Rind und Wild.

Markus Molitor Pinot Noir Brauneberger Klostergarten**
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.
