Discover the grape variety: Neheleschol
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden hue, a supple palate with moderate acidity and understated aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections for its heritage value, it belongs to the group of ancient varieties whose commercial spread has almost disappeared and which are studied for their genetic and historical interest. Rare white variety, poorly documented, grown in negligible quantities.
