What it pairs with

  • Lecso (Hungarian ratatouille)
    The aromatic spice of Hárslevelű echoes the pepper-and-tomato base of this classic Hungarian dish.
  • Langos with sour cream
    The wine's gentle body complements the fried dough and creamy topping.
  • Cottage cheese pastry
    Light sweet-savoury cheese filling harmonises with the floral wine aromatics.

History

Hárslevelű (linden-leaf) is the second-most planted variety in Tokaj PDO, valued for its floral aromatics and contribution to the Aszú blend. Fekete Pince bottles it as a varietal alongside Furmint.
