Niepoort NAT'Cool Rosé NV

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalNAT’Cool is Dirk Niepoort's line of wines that are low-intervention, low-alcohol, available only in a 1L format, affordable, and highly smashable. Showcasing their embossed NAT'Cool! bottles, this rosé is a mixed field blend from the Douro, as well as a mix of recent vintages. The new NV format sports a new front label as well (lacking the sweet hearts of 2020 vintage). In fact, there is nothing save for a super tiny "rosé" on the back of this green glassed bottle to even indicate this is a pink wine. Pouring a blushing peach hue, this medium bodied rosé streams crushed florals, dried roses, and spices along the lees-slicked palate, finishing with a dusting of toasted spice. Feels bigger than its 11.5% frame.Tasted: 26 February 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
