Hárslevelű is a native Tokaji grape prized for its distinctive floral aromatics. This elegant wine from a special volcanic terroir is an excellent example.

An inviting and beguiling sweet-floral aroma with mango notes and a hint of ripe pear. Full-bodied with a rounded yet distinct acidity, its dominant elderflower flavour is complemented by almond undertones and a vibrant mineral finish.

What is Hárslevelű?

The Hárslevelű variety is one of Hungary’s most celebrated white wine grapes. Its name means “linden leaf”, a nod to its characteristic aroma reminiscent of fragrant linden blossoms, which are traditionally accompanied by notes of acacia, honey, and ripe stone fruits.

Grown predominantly in the world-famous Tokaj wine region, Hárslevelű thrives in volcanic soils and a unique microclimate, playing a vital role in both dry and sweet wine styles, and it is even used to create a stylish orange wine. The grape is often blended with Furmint to develop complex, age-worthy wines.

Food Pairing

Try as an aperitif, or pair with light mezze such as dips, roast vegetables or a delicious serving of brussels sprouts with a gourmet twist. It makes a good match for grilled poultry and pork, or serve it with fresh cheese.
