Hensel Höhenflug Grauer Burgunder

The wines from the Höhenflug line produced by the Hensel estate wonderfully reflect the great diversity and the dedicated commitment of Thomas Hensel to coaxing the best out of his grapes. Due to the controlled ageing in wooden casks, the wines have a special elegance and complexity.

The classic Höhenflug Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris) is the best evidence of this. On the nose, it offers fine barrique aromas such as notes of vanilla, hazelnuts and toast, complemented by spicy nuances of overripe pears, honeydew melon and hints of pepper. It is incredibly complex and powerful but supple on the palate. Despite its heft, the Höhenflug Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris) from the Palatinate never loses its freshness and balance. The long-lasting finish is accompanied by hints of lemon.

Enjoy the Höhenflug Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris) with salads dressed with vinegar and oil or light grilled dishes.
