Hensel Weingut, Riesling Höhenflug Spielberg, 2021

Hensel Weingut’s Riesling Höhenflug Spielberg 2021 is a powerful, full-bodied expression of Riesling from one of Pfalz’s standout single vineyards. Sourced from the Spielberg site in Dürkheim, it combines ripe fruit, spice, and impressive depth, with a style that truly lives up to the “Höhenflug” name—an homage to the nearby airport and the wine’s lofty ambitions.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Riesling shows generous ripe fruit and a vivid, youthful freshness. The nose opens with notes of mature peach, juicy melon, and a distinct hint of white pepper, giving it both warmth and lift. On the palate, the wine is rich and layered, with powerful fruit at the core and a peppery, mineral edge that keeps everything in balance. It is juicy and mouth-filling, yet refreshing, with enough structure and complexity to age well over the next several years.

Production
The grapes come from the Spielberg vineyard in Dürkheim, a single site in the Pfalz where the terroir gives the wine its distinctive fullness and complexity. The vineyard’s character helps shape a Riesling with concentration, depth, and a pronounced sense of place. Harvesting and vinification details are not provided, so further specifics are not available.

Food & Serving
This is an ideal match for richer dishes that can stand up to its intensity, such as roasted poultry, pork with creamy sauces, Asian-inspired dishes with spice, or well-seasoned seafood. Serve chilled, around 10–12°C, to show both its fruit and structure. Decanting is not essential, but a short aeration may help the wine open up in its youth.

Producer
