NV Niepoort Moscatel Fortificado 5 Anos

Description

Being an outspoken defender of authentic Portuguese wines, Dirk Niepoort is teasing out all the potential that the Douro’s Moscatel grapes harbour for producing fortified white wines. With its unmistakable aroma, complexity, acidity and elegance, this wine underlines everything that characterises the Niepoort style.

The best grapes for the Moscatel 5 Anos stem from old vineyards growing in soils transitioning from schist to granite, at 400 – 500m above sea level.

Tasting Note: The Moscatel Niepoort 5 Anos is characterised by its unmistakable Muscat aromas, with floral and citrusy notes. Hints of nuts, spice and honey add further complexity. The palate is of quintessential Niepoort style: excellent structure, high acidity and a long finish which emphasises its delicate and refreshing character.
