2016 Niepoort Conciso

£25.00

Conciso is the interpretation of a fine and elegant Dão, a wine that shows all the potential and character of a very old vineyard. This century-old vineyard, planted in granite soil and facing east, on the slopes of Serra da Estrela, has mixed grape varieties where Baga and Jaen are predominant.

The 2016 vintage saw a mild winter, and spring brought high precipitation and humidity levels that persisted until summer. Despite the challenges posed by these conditions, our biodynamic practices allowed the vines to develop a strong resistance, ensuring the plants remained unscathed. This has resulted in an elegant wine that underwent 20 months of aging in 2,500-litre barrels with some in old barrels at Quinta da Lomba. Afterward, the wine was bottled without filtration.

Tasting Note: The 2016 Niepoort Conciso exhibits a light colour with subtle violet nuances. Its bouquet is both powerful and intricate, revealing notes of fresh minerals, forest fruits, and hints of pepper and cloves. As it breathes, it evolves beautifully, making it ideal for decanting. On the palate, it envelops the senses with its fresh fruit flavours and smooth tannins. This wine is both bold and refined, showcasing a unique expression of Dão. Its well-balanced acidity and exceptional harmony are evident in every sip. The finish is long, deep, and delicate, leaving a lasting impression.

Origin: Dão, Portugal

Blend: Baga, Jaen

Niepoort

Experience the independent family business, passed successfully for five generations from one Niepoort to the next, with older and younger generations working side by side for a long period. We eagerly anticipate the sixth generation, ready for a future of close collaboration.

Dirk Niepoort, part of the fifth generation, leads the family business, following the retirement of his father, Eduard Rudolph Niepoort. Since his studies in Switzerland, Dirk has been passionate about wine and has brought innovation to the traditional Niepoort brand.

Niepoort strives to maintain its status as a "niche player" by crafting unique ports and Douro wines that blend centuries-old customs with modernity. This combination also encompasses wine from two other regions, the Bairrada and Dão, which have contributed to shaping the Douro - Bairrada - Dão triangle. The newest points in this triangle also "deliver the goods" and hold a significant place for Niepoort, as they possess immense potential by combining the rich heritage of Portugal's winemaking history with the potential for innovation.
