Why You'll Love It
One litre of pure drinking pleasure. Fresh raspberry and sour cherry meet a little herb and pepper, with soft tannins and the bright acidity that makes this impossible to take too seriously. Give it a slight chill and bring out charcuterie, pizza or whatever is for dinner.
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 Dão field blend of Jaen, Tinta Pinheira, Alfrocheiro, Baga and Touriga Nacional from old, gobelet-trained vines on granite soils. The grapes were hand-harvested and fermented with restrained extraction in stainless steel; malolactic fermentation and approximately six months of maturation also took place in steel. Bottled in the generous one-litre Nat Cool format to celebrate freshness and easy drinking.
