2016 | Niepoort | Quinta de Baixo Vinhas Velhas

The mineral notes from the calcareous soils come through very distinctly, with an excellent balance between its fresh herbal aromas and notes of lime. On the palate, the wine impresses with its lightness, yet it still boasts body with plenty of grip. A linear, profoundly serious and distinctive white wine with an austere and deeply mineral finish.

Producer Information

Niepoort is a historic, family-owned producer of Port and table wines in the Douro Valley, in northern Portugal. It was founded by Dutch immigrants in 1842, and is now known for its distinctively packaged and energetically marketed wines.The Port house owns numerous quintas, or vineyard estates, throughout the Douro valley, although before the 1980s, all grapes were purchased from grower vineyards. Niepoort began acquiring vineyards with the purchase of the Quinta de Nápoles estate, in the southern central Cima Corga region in 1987, which has around 30 hectares (75 acres) of vineyards above the Têdo river.This was joined by the neighboring Quinta do Carril in 1988, and a dedicated Port-making facility was made in Vale de Mendiz in 2003. In 2008, Niepoort added a winery for its dry wines to the Quinta de Nápoles estate.
