Why You'll Love It
A beautifully easy-going but interesting Dão white, drawing on lesser-known local grape varieties. Floral aromatics and citrus fruit meet a soft texture and fresh, granite-driven finish. Especially good with grilled fish, vegetable dishes or creamy cheese.
About The Producer
Niepoort is one of the defining names in modern Portuguese wine. Founded in 1842 in Vila Nova de Gaia as an independent Port house, it remains in the hands of the Niepoort family, now spanning six generations. Dirk Niepoort joined his father Rolf in 1987 and began challenging what people expected from the Douro. By acquiring Quinta de Nápoles and Quinta do Carril and championing dry wines alongside the family's outstanding Ports, he helped transform the reputation of Portugal's indigenous grapes and vineyards. Rather than chasing sheer weight or concentration, Niepoort's approach favours freshness, balance, character and a genuine expression of place. That curiosity has since taken the family into Dão, Bairrada, Vinho Verde and beyond, working with old vines, local varieties and like-minded growers. Today Dirk works alongside the next generation, including Daniel and Marco, who continue to push the estate forward without losing sight of its roots. For Vino Gusto, Niepoort is far more than a great Port house: it is one of the most influential and exciting producers in Portuguese wine.
Winemaking Information
A field blend from old vineyards in Portugal's Dão, including Encruzado, Borrado das Moscas, Rabo de Ovelha and Cercial. The 2020 growing season was relatively cool and complicated by spring rain; harvested fruit fermented without any oak influence, giving a light, delicate white with a fresh herbal and citrus finish.
