Description

Demeter Zoltán Szerelmi Hárslevelű 2018

Demeter Zoltán Szerelmi Hárslevelű is a single vineyard wine from the oldest “Grand Cru” site of Tokaj region. Opens with a pleasant nose of honey and flowers. The dense palate is dry, creamy and lively all at the same time. Juicy flavours of sweet peaches, juicy pear, minerals and vanilla on the long finish.

100% Hárslevelű. The fruit comes from the Szerelmi vineyard in Tokaj, an old-growth, loess-soil vineyard found at an altitude of 170 meters.

Wine fermentation and maturation takes place in the cellar of a historic house built in 1790 in the town of Tokaj.

Lush & Tropical Whites

Succulent stonefruit with a citrus backbone characterises these wines. Typically, they have notes of tropical fruit, and come from warmer climates. A touch of oak during the winemaking process also helps to give some softness to the wine.

Expect notes of peach, apricot, pineapples, melon & a buttery texture
