2022 Niepoort Docil Loureiro

£17.95

A Balanced and Rounded Vinho Verde

Dócil is the outcome of Niepoort's quest for a Vinho Verde that reflects the terroir of the region, boasting balanced and rounded characteristics, relying on the vibrant acidity of the Loureiro grape variety.

This Loureiro hails from its traditional home, the Lima Valley, and is cultivated in granitic soils. The aromatic profile of this grape is wonderfully expressive, dominated by floral and mineral notes.

The 2020 harvest took place in early September. It was a classic, resulting in a wine with perfect freshness and balance characteristic of the Loureiro grape. Whole grapes were delicately pressed, and the must was decanted and fermented at low temperatures.

Tasting Note: Floral notes and fruity citrus are evident in an elegant and delicate aromatic profile. On the palate, it reveals freshness and aromatic intensity, with a great balance of flavors, finishing long and mineral.

Origin: Vinho Verde, Portugal

Blend: Loureiro

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.
