2017 VV Vinhas Velhas Branco

£38.00

The VV Vinhas Velhas is a wine produced solely from the certified organic grapes of Quinta de Baixo.

The Maria Gomes and Bical grape varieties, grown in calcareous soils, lend their natural acidity to the 100-year-old vines of the Quinta de Baixo Vinhas Velhas (Old Vines). This allows for an elegant malolactic fermentation, with pH levels under 3.0.

The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in 1000L foudres which were sourced from the Mosel and are more than 60 years old. The VV beautifully represents the incredible lightness and complexity of Bairrada wines.

Tasting Note: Mineral notes derived from the calcareous soils, with hints of fresh herbs, limes, and white blossoms. A seamless balance between the austere and mineral-driven Bical grape and the expressive Maria Gomes grapes. The acidity and saline notes result in a distinct and elegant character.

Origin: Bairrada, Portugal

Alcohol: 12.1%

Blend: Bical, Maria Gomes

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.
