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".

Product recommendation

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.

Knipser Cuvee X

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**

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.
