2021 Niepoort Lagar de Baixo

£25.00

Experience the timeless elegance of 2021 Niepoort Lagar de Baixo. Crafted from the finest Baga grapes sourced from old vineyards in Bairrada, this wine showcases a noble and classic style, with remarkable aging potential. Combining both old and young vines, this red wine is complex, serious, yet still vibrant.

In 2021, unexpected rain and temperature spikes made for a challenging but successful harvest with balanced acidity, intense color, and lower alcohol levels. Fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged 19 months in large vats, this year's Quinta de Baixo wines are elegant and fresh.

Tasting Note: The Lagar de Baixo is a pleasant and versatile wine which will appeal to everyone. Violet glints peek out from its overall lively and bright appearance. The nose reveals aromas of red fruit such as cherries and red berries which are complemented by herbaceous and floral notes and spicy hints from the barrel ageing. On the palate, the structure is delicate and very elegant. It finishes long with a lingering acidity.

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.
