Niepoort Nat'Cool Branco 2021
Vinho Verde, Northern Portugal, PortugalThis cloudy pét-nat ish Vinho Verde, comes from the sub-region of Lousada, and is a mix of Azal, Arinto, Avesso, Trajadura and Loureiro. It was bottled with a few grams RS, so it could continue to percolate in the bottle, affording it a gentle spritz. Hazy yellow apple, pear skin, apricot skin rules the slim, fuzzy palate, with a gentle rise of acidity to a subtly spiced finish. Crack now, with a brisk chill, and mates to share.Tasted: 26 April 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $22.00 | 1000ml | private wine shops |
