This Mestiço from Niepoort, a true testament to Ljubomir Stanisic and his team’s artistry, is a delightfully unexpected blend – a bit of happy accident, expertly orchestrated as you’d expect from Niepoort. Crafted from three distinct lots – “Sempre Cheio,” “Monte Branco,” and “Vinhas Novas” – it’s a remarkably complex wine, with the Rabigato contributing a wonderfully lively character. The careful, co-fermentation process, alongside a dance between used French oak and stainless steel, unveils subtle layers that belie its apparent simplicity. Twelve weeks of battonage in oak, coupled with a prolonged lees contact, ensures this wine – brimming with its promise of “sempre cheio” – delivers a truly unforgettable experience. Perfect with fresh fish and shellfish, or simply for those seeking a sophisticated, relaxed chat.
