Niepoort "Dócil" Vinho Verde Loureiro, 2022

Portugal, (Vinho Verde DOC)

100% Loureiro

11.5%

 

The Dócil is the result of our search for a Vinho Verde which reflects the region’s terroir, with a balanced and well-rounded character, and whose vinification relies on the vibrant acidity of the Loureiro grape variety. This Loureiro stems from its traditional home, the Lima Valley, and is produced from vines growing in granitic soils. The aromatic profile of this grape is beautifully expressive, with predominant floral and mineral aromas.

 

TASTING NOTES: Floral and fruit citrusy notes are apparent in an overall elegant and delicate aromatic profile. The palate reveals fresh and aromatic notes with a great balance between flavours, with a long and mineral finish.

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: Vinho Verde wines offer vibrant fruit, low alcohol and refreshing qualities that can be enjoyed alone or will pair well with salads, seafood, and Asian cuisine.
