Hárslevelu
[HARSH-leh-veh-LOO]

A white grape grown mainly in Hungary, with some acreage just across the border in Czechoslovakia. Following FURMINT, Hárslevelu is the leading component in Hungary's renowned TOKAY ASZÚ wines, which are made from grapes infected with BOTRYTIS CINEREA. Although the thick-skinned Hárslevelu grapes aren't as susceptible to botryris as Furmint, they're very AROMATIC and add SUPPLENESS and a strong SPICY, PERFUMED character to Tokay wines. Good Hárslevelu VARIETAL WINES are produced in Hungary around Baja and Villány in the south and Debrö in the north.
