Discover the grape variety: Harslevelu

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.

The wine region of Eden Valley

Australian high-altitude star (380-600 m) adjoining Barossa: signature Riesling as king white - dry, lively and racy with notes of lime, green apple, white flowers and signature chalky minerality, taut acidity and a long finish, ageing (10-20 years, kerosene evolution). Shiraz as king red (Hill of Grace) - elegant and spicy (blackberry, plum, pepper, eucalyptus). Cabernet, Chardonnay and Sémillon in support. GI (1997), varied ancient soils over granite, a cooler climate.


The wine region of Australie du Sud

Cradle of the great Australian Shiraz: powerful, sun-drenched reds with notes of blackberry, candied plum, pepper, chocolate and eucalyptus, ample tannins and vibrant fruit (Barossa, McLaren Vale). Firm, minty Cabernet Sauvignon on Coonawarra (terra rossa). Dry, lemony Riesling from Clare and Eden Valley, straight and taut. Fresh Sauvignon and Chardonnay from Adelaide Hills.

The word of the wine: Reduced

This is said of aromas that are reminiscent of a stale wine and that can be released when a long-closed bottle is opened. They generally fade with airing.
