What it pairs with

  • Chilled melon soup
    Floral Hárslevelű's blossom notes harmonise with a chilled melon puree.
  • Smoked trout mousse
    The wine's floral spice provides a counterpoint to the smoky richness of the mousse.
  • Apricot and almond tart
    The linden-flower and spice of Hárslevelű echo the stone-fruit and marzipan notes.

History

Hárslevelű in Erdőbénye benefits from the village's cooler temperatures, which preserve the grape's natural floral aromatics and prevent over-ripening. The cool-climate expression differs noticeably from warmer valley-floor bottlings.
