Two grape varieties were used for this Hensel white wine. First, Chardonnay, a grape that thrives. Because the Palatinate is only slightly further north than, for example, Chablis, the Chardonnay also creates beautiful wines at Wiengut Hensel, comparable to Burgundy. They also use Weissburgunder, a grape also known as Pinot Blanc. This unusual combination in Hensel Weissburgunder Chardonnay creates an exciting wine: the richness of Chardonnay with the mild and refreshing freshness of Weissburgunder.
Harvesting is done by hand to better select the best grapes that ultimately make up Hensel Weissburgunder Chardonnay. The bunches are harvested as late as possible to ensure optimal quality, full of minerals and a high sugar content, which in turn translates into delicate notes. The grapes are vinified separately, and then the wine is blended. The aroma is a sight to behold, surprising and appealing. Lush and floral. You can clearly recognize both grape varieties in Hensel Weissburgunder Chardonnay. You taste minerals and fresh notes of mild citrus. But you also clearly taste the intense notes of fresh banana and white flowers. Balanced in sweetness and acidity, Hensel Weissburgunder Chardonnay is the perfect aperitif wine, especially because everyone loves it immensely.
