Niepoort Lagar De Baixo Tinto

Description

This Niepoort Lagar de Baixo is undeniably a star of the Bairrada – a wine born from a delightfully audacious spirit. The Baga grapes, brimming with natural character, are treated with a touch of playful indulgence, fermenting in gently used 2500L oak barrels. This extended maturation – a full 20 months in the wood – unveils a remarkable complexity, belies its youth. Expect a robust flavour profile, with tannins echoing the local terroir, yet balanced by a refreshing vibrancy. Serve it in a Burgundy-style glass to fully appreciate the estate’s singular legacy and Niepoort’s ongoing contribution to Portuguese wine history – perhaps with a hearty venison stew.
