"The 2017 Branco, a blend of Bical and Maria Gomes from Bairrada, underwent fermentation and 18 months of aging in a 1000-liter foudre. This old-school white presents green apple notes, complemented by hints of chamomile and aniseed against a subtle oaky backdrop. Creamy and refreshing on the palate, the chalky mouthfeel is elevated by the long-lasting, barrel-influenced finish." Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous Media

More about Niepoort

One of the last family-owned Port houses standing, Niepoort has been in the Niepoort family since 1842. Dirk Niepoort is the fifth generation of his family making Port—he cut his first vintage back in 1987—and now his son Daniel has joined to mark generation six. But Niepoort isn't resting on Port laurels; they're making unfortified table wines across multiple Portuguese regions, blending old-world Port tradition with new-world ambition. When a house can claim nearly two centuries and still feel alive, that's something.
