Niepoort Dão Rotulo Branco 2020

As part of our mission to honour biodiversity, we have been recovering various old white grape vineyards in Dão, going beyond than just Encruzado – the predominant variety of the region. The Rótulo Branco is a blend of almost extinct varieties such as Borrado das Moscas, Rabo de Ovelha and Cercial, among others. Without any influence from oak, we have created a delicate, light and well-balanced wine which reflects the granitic soils that are so typical of this region.

Tasting Notes

With its very pale lemon colour, the Rótulo Branco 2020 presents crisp aromas: white blossoms mingle with notes reminiscent of the wine’s terroir. The palate offers good body, a silky texture and a citrusy acidity providing a good backbone. Fruity notes and hints of fresh herbs accompany its long finish. This is a wine which offers great drinking pleasure for many different occasions!

Food Pairing

Delicate fish, salads and all types of white meat. Hard cheeses with a mild flavour.
