Alana-Tokaj Tokaji Harslevelu 2005

Many people readily associate Tokaji with Furmint, but Harslevelu is the region's other great white grape. The bright gold appearance is echoed immediately by the suggestions of honeyed fruit on the nose. The palate has a botrytis-like complexity with apple and rich apricot notes mid-palate. Balance is provided by the spine of vibrant acidity. (VINTAGES panel, June 2013)
