Niepoort - Vinho Verde Loureiro Docil 2024 (750ml)
You need to go back five generations, well into the early years of the 19th century, to locate the beginnings of the Niepoort family’s association with the Douro region of Portugal and the wine trade. Franciscus Marius van der Niepoort, as the name might suggest, was born in Holland but moved to Portugal with his wife to become a negociant of Port wines. Today, all those years and generations later, the company he began in 1842 is run by Dirk Niepoort, who is arguably one of the most influential forces on the Portuguese wine scene today. In addition to running the family Port business, Niepoort has, in recent years, become increasingly involved in making dry table wines; in point of fact, the label on this bottling clearly states “Projeto de Dirk Niepoort.” Made 100% from the native grape Loureiro, this is a vinho verde with something to say: it is expressively aromatic, balanced and well-rounded, with the vibrant acidity typical of the grape variety.
