Tokaj Wines
Tokaj holds the title of the most famous wine region in Hungary thanks to its renowned botrytized Tokaji dessert wines. The main viticultural centres here are the towns of Mad, Tarcal and of course Tokaj. The grape varieties used in making Tokaji wines are Furmint, Harslevelu and Sárgamuskotály (Muscat Blanc). Furmint, which dominates the Tokaji wines, is famous for its naturally high acidity, high sugar levels and peppery aromatic profile. Very promising dry whites from this region!
Hárslevelű Wines
Harslevelu is a highly aromatic grape variety in Hungary best known for its role in sweet Tokaji Wines alongside Furmint. Harslevelu wines are rich in honey notes followed by smoky hints and as its name suggests (Harslevelu means"linden leaf") the wines reveal linden-like aromas as they age. This Hungarian grape variety can also generate full-bodied herbaceous dry wines. Besides Hungary, Harslevelu is to be found in Germany, Slovakia and some parcels in South Africa.
