Harslevelu
Harslevelü is a beautifully aromatic grape variety best known for its role in Hungary’s cool-climate white wines. The name may be a little unfamiliar, but the style is easy to enjoy: think delicate fruit, gentle florals and a refreshing lift on the palate. Grapes like Harslevelü tend to do particularly well when ripened slowly, which helps them keep their natural acidity for a crisp, clean finish.
In the glass, you’ll often find flavours such as green apple, pear and citrus zest, sometimes with subtle honeyed or herbal notes depending on the producer and vintage. Many bottlings also show a touch of minerality, making them a great match for lighter dishes and seafood, but they can also stand up to richer meals when served slightly cooler.
If you’re exploring the Grapes range, Harslevelü is a fantastic choice for anyone who enjoys aromatic whites without the sweetness overload. It’s versatile, food-friendly and offers a distinctive character that feels both modern and rooted in tradition. Try it if you’re looking for something refreshing, flavourful and a little different from the usual mainstream varieties.
