Niepoort White Port NV
Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalNiepoort White Port is a blend of Malvasia, Viosinho and Gouveio, from Douro's Covelinhas and Pombal vineyards and vines over 60 years. The fermentation is stopped by the addition of pure grape brandy, leaving ample residual sugar (110 g/L). After spending one year in large wood vats the wine is transferred to Casks (550L) where it rests for at least 3 years before bottling. Pouring a golden hue, this rolls golden raisins, butterscotch, caramelized walnuts, along the palate, with a dusting of white pepper and anise lingering on the finish, and easy acidity countering the ample sugar.
