Discover the best wines made with Harslevelu as a single variety or as a blend of Bükk.
Aromatic and structured whites with an ample palate and firm acidity, on aromas of linden flowers (hence its name, hárslevelű = linden leaf), honey, apricot, quince, yellow peach and spiced notes. Exceptional aptitude for noble rot. An essential component of the great Tokaji Aszú liquoreux and Tokaji Szamorodni, also vinified as ambitious dry whites at Somló and Eger. Native Hungarian variety, Furmint's historical partner in Tokaj.
Small wine region of northeastern Hungary between Eger and Tokaj, at the foot of the volcanic Bükk massif, soils of rhyolitic tuffs and basalts, cool continental climate. Olaszrizling (Welschriesling) as the signature white: dry and taut with lively citrus, green apple, almond, herbs and a smoky volcanic mineral touch, cutting acidity. Leányka with aromatic floral notes, Furmint and Chardonnay in whites. Kékfrankos and Kadarka as spicy, fruity, fresh reds.
