Hensel, Höhenflug Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Hensel Höhenflug Sauvignon Blanc 2022 is a vibrant German white that channels the freshness and precision of classic Loire-style Sauvignon Blanc, while showing the warmth and ripeness of Pfalz. Produced by Weingut Hensel, it combines citrus-driven energy with a distinctly international polish, making it a standout example of the region’s evolving style.

Tasting Notes
Pale and luminous in the glass, this Sauvignon Blanc offers a fresh, expressive bouquet of citrus, green apple, and a touch of pineapple. On the palate it is crisp and precise, with lively acidity, a clean mineral backbone, and a long, refreshing finish that keeps the fruit beautifully balanced. The wine’s purity and tension give it immediate charm, while the mineral length adds a level of seriousness that suggests good short-term aging potential. Enjoy it while its youthful fruit is at its brightest, or cellar briefly to let the flavours knit together further.

Production
Hensel is based in the Pfalz, one of Germany’s warmest and most dynamic wine regions, just north of Alsace. The area’s favourable climate and varied soils are ideal for producing expressive white wines with ripe fruit and freshness, and Thomas Hensel has long embraced both traditional German varieties and international grapes. This Sauvignon Blanc is crafted in a Loire-inspired style, shaped to highlight clarity, minerality, and aromatic precision.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs especially well with goat’s cheese, asparagus, grilled fish, shellfish, sushi, and light salads with citrus or herb dressing. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and decanting is not necessary.

Producer
Weingut Hensel is a respected producer in Pfalz, with a strong reputation for making modern, characterful wines that reflect both regional identity and broader international influences. Under the guidance of Thomas Hensel and his experienced team, the winery has gained recognition for its clean, expressive style and its successful work with varieties beyond the traditional Riesling lineup.
