Dry White Port - Niepoort

Dry White Port - NiepoortNiepoort’s Dry White is a dry white Port that presents itself in a wonderfully golden color. The pronounced and powerful bouquet combines fresh aromas of citrus fruits and yellow stone fruit with nuances of nuts and almonds that continue on the palate. With its well-structured body and harmonious flavor of dried fruits, this Port wine fully satisfies the palate. The long finish impresses with freshness and concentration, thanks to its maturation in oak casks. Don’t be surprised: despite the name “Dry White”, this Port is not truly dry, but rather off-dry with a residual sugar content of 43.4 g/l. Vinification of Dry White by Niepoort The hand-picked grapes are destemmed, crushed, and left on the skins for an extended period. During this time, they are occasionally gently trodden by foot according to traditional methods. Fermentation on the skins continues almost to dryness and is then gently halted by the addition of brandy. The Dry White by Niepoort then matures for another 3.5 years in small oak barrels in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia before this Port is bottled.
