Niepoort Quinta de Baixo - 2018 - Vinhas Velhas Branco

For over 180 years and six generations, Niepoort has carefully crafted a legacy driven by an unwavering passion for wine. Led by Dirk van der Niepoort, the fifth-generation visionary, the family business embraces tradition while fearlessly venturing into new projects. Dirk's captivating fascination with wine, honed through experience rather than traditional training, yields renowned red, white, and port wines that define the Niepoort winery. With a steadfast commitment to the Douro region, Dirk has not only achieved international acclaim but also realized his dream of crafting extraordinary table wines. Since 1842, the independent Niepoort family has been an esteemed presence in the port wine market. Their journey began when Franciscus Marius Niepoort founded the renowned port wine house, and it reached a milestone in 1987 when Dirk van der Niepoort acquired their own vineyards. Quinta de Nápoles, an ancient estate with historical significance dating back to 1496, was joined by Quinta do Carril. These vineyards, once neglected, required significant investments for revitalization, including complete replanting and preservation of old vines. Today, Niepoort stands as a symbol of history and tradition, with an innovative approach to winemaking.
