A distinctive and characterful example of a grape that is famous for its vinification in the Tokaj region.

Bock picked both ripe and over-ripe grapes together as late as November and December, destemmed the bunches then left the juice with the skins for up to 24 hours. It was then pressed and fermented at 16-18 °C in stainless steel.

What the critics say:

We tasted the Hárslevelu 2007, a delicious example of a dry fresh crisp white wine made from a grape that is traditionally grown in Tokaji for sweet wine production
Vivienne Franks (The Wine Education Service), 2010

Mid gold in colour with a touch of shrubbery and linden leaf on the nose. Dry, with gentle acidity, silky, creamy lemon tea fruit
Brett, The Wine Maestro, 2009

A semi sweet wine with 110g/l sugar, this has nice ripe fruit. The palate has crispness a citrus lift, with a juicy peach and plum fruit and a nice fresh finish. Very drinkable. 89/100
Tom Cannavan (Wine-Pages), 2008

This has a touch of orange quality and the honey and nutty richness comes through. Beautiful palate weight and the apricot and marmalade richness comes through. Refined lemony acidity and a lovely balance in the finish. 93/100
