2017 Meinklang Harslevelu

Harslevelu is a richly-flavored grape variety from Hungary. It is best known for its supporting role in sweet Tokaji wines (where the better-known Furmint variety rules) but is sometimes made as a varietal wine, in both dry and sweet styles. Harslevelu often displays honeyed, smoky characters and its name, which means "linden leaf" in Hungarian, refers to the linden-like aromas that the wine takes on as it ages.

Together with Furmint, Harslevelu is one of Tokaj's most planted varieties, and the two take up around 90 percent of the region's vineyard. In Tokaj, a warm microclimate and the convergence of two rivers creates humidity, which in turn encourages the development of botrytis cinerea. Loose bunches and thin skins make it susceptible to this noble rot, which concentrates the already-high sugars in the grapes and leads to the production of Tokaj's famous Aszú wines. As part of the Tokaji blend, Harslevelu adds flavors that are often described as spicy or smoky, usually with honey pollen and elderflower aromas.
