Wine Information

During the early golden era of De Venoge in the mid-1850s, Joseph de Venoge managed to lure his wine into the favour of the European princes by arranging champagne and shooting picnics for them.

Written Notes

Very deep golden colour. Round and rich confectionary nose of burned sugar, butter, dried fruits and baking spices. Developed and weighty palate with huge concentration of fruit.
