Label

Tasting Notes
-
Gold in color, the nose exhibits aromas of yellow fruits, chamomile, hints of dried citrus peels. The palate is well-structured, filling and fresh with a velvety texture. Notes of honey, walnuts and licorice appears in its dry, savoury and persistent finish. Venissa is a great collector’s white wine with a long-life expectancy.
