Hensel Höhenflug Chardonnay

The Hensel Höhenflug (high-altitude flight) Chardonnay is noticeably influenced by the ageing in barriques, giving this white wine from the Rhineland-Palatinate a remarkably multi-faceted bouquet. The wine unites notes of toast, caramel and vanilla in its bouquet, complemented by fruity nuances of juicy, ripe honeydew melon and ripe pineapple.

On the palate, this blend from the innovative wine-grower Thomas Hensel is creamy and fruity, with light tannins. The fine acidity offsets the powerful body of this well-balanced Chardonnay with a stimulating freshness. You’ll enjoy discovering an exceptional Chardonnay, offering roast aromas and a sumptuous body.
