Niepoort Dry White

Wine information: A rare style of dry white port, made with lengthy skin maceration and wood ageing. The white grapes undergo long skin maceration, occasionally with foot treading in lagares, with fermentation carrying on to near dryness, before the addition of pure grape brandy. Ageing is carried out in small old oak casks in our cellars in Gaia for at least 3.5 Years before bottling. Golden / brown in colour with a delightful aroma of nuts and almonds which comes through on the palate with a fresh concentrated spirity finish,from extended ageing in small old oak barrels. Dry White is lovely if served chilled as an aperitif or as a long drink with Tonic Water, ice and a twist of lemon. "Dirk also makes the best dry white port going, with atypical elegance and freshness" Philip Williamson & David Moore, Wine Behind the Label 2005 edition.
