dirk niepoort is a world-renowned port producer with a 62-hectare estate in the sumptuous douro region. for several decades now, he has been making dry wines of surprising finesse for the region. we invite you to discover them today. if their name doesn't necessarily sound portuguese, don't be mistaken, niepoort is not a newcomer to the region. arriving from holland in 1842, fransiscus marius niepoort decided to start trading in port wine and, over time, his business continued to prosper without him having to buy any vineyards. it was not until more than a century later that his great-great-grandson dirk niepoort bought the first vineyards in the douro valley. the house acquired the quintas of nápoles and do carril, located near cima corgo, one of the highlights of the port wine industry. a major event for the family. dirk niepoort is the head of an institution that produces excellent port wine, but he has no experience in making dry wine. he immediately decided to adopt a vineyard culture that was very respectful of biodiversity and even converted some of his plots to biodynamic farming. dirk's philosophy? less is more". in his wines you will find no commercial yeast or added nutrients, only a fair amount of sulphur before bottling. with temperatures that can peak in the summer, he also struggles to keep alcohol levels moderate. this, combined with light extraction, results in wines of astonishing delicacy that, on a blind taste test, we find hard to attribute to portugal...! originating from the small village of aigueze on the river ardèche in the gard. this wine is part of the larger côtes-du-rhône appellation. a typical wine with a good price-quality ratio. this southern rhône blend of equal parts cinsault, grenache noir and syrah has bright fruit with fresh acidity and good depth and concentration.
