Mestiço Tinto

Description

This Mestiço from Niepoort, crafted by Ljubomir Stanisic, is a delightfully bold and, frankly, a touch extravagant. It's a frankly audacious blend – almost a revolution for the Douro – with Tinta Miúda dominating (40%) alongside an unexpected French flourish of Syrah. Alicante Bouschet and Aragonez round out the mix, complemented by the regional charm of Trincadeira and Castelão. The “bins” fermentation and foot-pasting, combined with three years of *foudre* ageing, elevate this wine to a truly exceptional level, boasting a complexity that’s sure to impress even the most discerning palates. Perfect with hearty beef dishes or earthy mushroom preparations.
