Hensel Weingut, RG Riesling Halbtrocken 1 ltr., 2025

Hensel Weingut’s RG Riesling Halbtrocken is a bright, approachable white wine that shows the classic German balance of freshness and gentle sweetness. Made from Riesling grown in the Pfalz and vinified to preserve its pure fruit character, it offers an elegant, easy-drinking style with real versatility at the table.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Riesling is likely pale straw in colour with a lively, youthful brightness. The nose is fresh and expressive, with aromas of ripe apple, candied lemon zest and white flowers. On the palate, it is soft and rounded, with a creamy texture and a touch of residual sweetness that adds weight and mouthfeel without losing balance. Crisp acidity keeps everything vibrant, leading to a clean, well-proportioned finish. While enjoyable now for its freshness, it should also hold its appeal over the next few years if stored well.

Production
The wine comes from Thomas Hensel’s own vineyards in the Pfalz, one of Germany’s most renowned regions for Riesling, where warm days and cool nights help develop ripe fruit while preserving acidity. The grapes are vinified in stainless steel tanks to maintain purity, freshness and varietal expression, with a small amount of natural sweetness retained to create the classic halbtrocken style.

Food & Serving
This is a natural match for lightly spiced dishes, smoked fish, Asian-inspired cuisine or rich salads, where its gentle sweetness and acidity can balance flavour and texture. Serve chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and decanting is not necessary.
