Niepoort Lote D Red 2018

Bairrada
This wine originates from one of the most special vineyards in Bairrada, reflecting the freshness and delicate character that defines Niepoort. Despite being young, it already has an impressive balance and fine tannins. The nose reveals the purity of the Baga variety, with notes of violet, red fruits such as cherry, which complement the nuances of spices and the character with chalk tones that recall the terroir of the vineyards. In the mouth, it presents incredible structure and sophistication. Vibrant fruit and excellent acidity produce a delicate, elegant and exceptionally fine wine. The finish is refreshing, saline and clearly expresses the wine's limestone terroir. This wine can be fully enjoyed when young, displaying its harmony, but it also promises great aging potential.
