Product recommendation

Hensel und Gretel Cuvée Rotwein
The Hensel und Gretel Cuvée Rotwein (red wine) is another joint project realised by the wine-makers Thomas Hensel and Markus Schneider. The wine-makers from the Palatinate share not only a deep friendship, but their passion for creating great wines as well. Thus it’s no surprise that they collaborated in the creation of the Hensel and Gretel Rotwein (red wine), amongst others. Both of them are particularly fond of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety, which predominates in this red wine. The wine is a powerful deep red in the glass. On the nose, it is redolent of cocoa, vanilla, blackberries, cassis and dark cherries. The Hensel and Gretel Rotwein (red wine) is elegant and round on the palate, with wonderfully integrated tannins. The dry, boldly spicy wine has a fruity finish.The versatile Hensel and Gretel Rotwein (red wine) is an ideal accompaniment to pizza, pasta and similar dishes. It is also lovely to enjoy on its own – ideal for a cosy evening at home.

Hensel Ikarus red wine
The Hensel Ikarus is the flagship of the Thomas Hensel winery and a prime example of the innovative strength of the Palatinate wine scene. Great wines also need great names. So the name derived from Greek mythology is a good choice for the Hensel Ikarus. The wine is only vinified in years with exceptional grapes and is made from the Cabernet Cubin grape variety. This is a new variety from 1970, which is based on a cross between the Blaufränkisch and Cabernet Sauvignon grape varieties. The Hensel winery in the Palatinate experimented with this grape variety at an early stage. This is why some of the vines are over 40 years old. Although this results in lower yields, the grapes are particularly powerful.The Hensel Ikarus shimmers dark in the glass and has a full berry flavor. The red wine needs some time to open up, so decanting is advisable. Once the wine has opened up, however, the palate experiences ripe berry fruit, an intense coffee note and a tasty tobacco aroma. We recommend a drinking temperature of 16-18 °C.Hensel Ikarus reveals its great potential through its athletic tannins. A wine that will give great pleasure for many years to come - "Feels Like Heaven".
