Janko Zapis 2020 – a premium product from Vinarija Janko, Smederevsko Vinogorje.
Tasting Notes
Pale straw yellow with delicate green reflections. Complex bouquet: linden blossom and vineyard peach, herbal aromas of chamomile, and an unmistakable, varietal petrol dimension of Riesling. On the palate, medium to full-bodied, mineral and exceptionally fruit-driven with elegant fruit acidity. Refreshingly mineral, long finish.
