Brut Niepoort 2017, 75cl

Bairrada

Água viva

Winter 2016/2017 in Bairrada was very dry. There was some rain in spring, in late April and early May, but the summer was very dry again. The low humidity levels meant that the incidence of disease was practically zero and there was no need to treat the vines. Due to the extreme drought, the grapes ripened very early and with the intense heat, the harvest was brought forward by around 3 weeks compared to the previous year, starting on 17 August and ending on 19 September.

Vinified according to the traditional method, the second fermentation took place in the bottle with free yeasts, and it aged on fine lees in the Quinta de Baixo cellar for 48 months. Dégorgement took place in October 2022.

Niepoort Vinhos

The Niepoort family has been creating Port Wines since 1842. The first property in Douro was bought in 1987 and Dirk Niepoort started a new Era in the company with the creation of the first Redoma red in 1991. In the last years Niepoort took on the great challenge of interpreting other soils and climates and acquired two properties in other regions, Dão and Bairrada. Discover the Niepoort Triangle which express the different terroirs: Schist (Douro), Limestone (Bairrada) and Granite (Dão).
