Dry White Port - Niepoort

Dry White Port - NiepoortNiepoort's Dry White is a dry white port that presents a wonderful golden color. The distinctive and powerful bouquet combines fresh aromas of citrus and yellow stone fruit with nuances of nuts and almonds, which continue on the palate. With its well-structured body and a harmonious taste of dried fruit, this port wine fills the palate. The long finish convinces with freshness and concentration, thanks to the aging in oak barrels. Do not be surprised: Despite the name Dry White , this Port is not really dry, but rather semi-dry with a residual sugar content of 43.4 g/l. Vinification of the Dry White by Niepoort The grapes, harvested by hand, are destemmed, crushed and left on the skins for a long time. Meanwhile, they are gently pressed at times using traditional methods with the feet. The mash fermentation takes place almost to dryness and is finally gently terminated by the addition of brandy. Now Niepoort's Dry White ages for another 3.5 years in small oak casks in the cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia before this Port is bottled. Food recommendation for the Dry White Niepoort Port This dry port tastes wonderful as an aperitif or served as a long drink with tonic, lemon zest and ice cubes.
