Lime green in colour with a delicate golden rim in the glass, the Lammershoek Mysteries Die Haarde Blaar exudes a wonderfully floral bouquet with aromas of fragrant elderflowers and sour figs as well as subtle hints of subtle spices and sweet dried fruit. On the palate, this pure Harslevelü presents itself with a refreshing mouthfeel and delicious nuances of honey, citrus fruit and spicy earthiness.
This Hungarian grape variety was planted on Lammershoek's vineyards in 1980 by the legendary winemaker and vintner Desiderius Pongracz and is only produced in very limited quantities. "The Harde Blaar" in Afrikaans means "The hard leaf" - a name that refers to the old and unirrigated vines of this wine. A very special and rare drop that inspires!

The grapes were harvested by hand in the early morning hours and cooled down overnight. The next morning the grapes were crushed all over the bunch in the traditional basket press and the juice obtained was left on the skin for several hours to transfer complexity and a generous mouthfeel to the wine. The wine then fermented in a natural (spontaneous) way, i.e. no commercial yeasts were used to start the fermentation process. Only naturally occurring yeast on the fruit and in the environment initiated the fermentation of this first-class Harslevel Menu. After fermentation, the wine matured for 10 months in old French barriques.
