Niepoort Dry White Port

Dirk Niepoort was born in 1964 to a traditional Port family that has been in business since 1842. The first wine Dirk participated in making was the Niepoort Vintage Porto of 1987. The Port wines continue to remain a passion of Niepoort even though Dirk has expanded to other areas (Douro dry wines, Bairrada, Dao, etc.) The wine for the ports is made from grapes in the Pinhao Valley of the Cima Corgo. This White Port is made in the traditional style with long skin maceration. The final blend includes different wines aged in oak casks with an average of 3.5 years. This is a blend of Códega, Rabigato, Viosinho. Golden, with nuts and almonds aroma and a fresh concentrated finish. Great when served chilled as an aperitif or with tonic water, ice and a slice of lemon or lemon peel.
