Why You'll Love It
An age-worthy Dão white from very old vines, combining citrus and stone fruit with a savoury, lightly nutty depth. Long maturation in used oak gives texture without masking the granite-driven freshness. A compelling white for serious fish dishes or a mature 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
Conciso Branco 2022 comes from old, gobelet-trained vineyards around Quinta da Lomba in the Dão, predominantly Bical with Encruzado, Malvasia and other local white grapes. The fruit is hand-picked from granite soils; fermentation and extended maturation in used oak build texture and complexity. The vintage's published analyses record around 12.4% ABV and 1.6 g/L residual sugar, consistent with a dry style.
