✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Niepoort's Diálogo Tinto is a brilliant testament to Dirk Niepoort's vision of crafting a Douro red that is simultaneously light, fresh, and deeply expressive of its terroir. Sourced from the steep, schistous slopes of the Cima Corgo sub-region, this wine is a classic blend of traditional Portuguese varieties, including Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Amarela. The name 'Diálogo' (meaning dialogue) reflects the wine's convivial spirit, designed to flow easily during long conversations around the dinner table. To preserve its vibrant primary fruit and signature mineral backbone, the wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel, followed by a brief aging period in neutral French oak barrels. This careful balance of traditional Douro character and modern freshness results in a highly approachable, elegant red that defies the heavy, over-extracted stereotypes of the region.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Niepoort blev grundlagt i 1842 af Franciscus Marius van der Niepoort og er et ikonisk, uafhængigt familieejet hus med base i Vila Nova de Gaia og dybe historiske rødder i Portugals Douro-dal. Huset har i over et århundrede været berømt for sine skelsættende Colheita- og Vintage Ports, men gennemgik en dynamisk renæssance under femtegenerations-visionæren Dirk Niepoort, der banede vejen for den moderne æra af uforstærkede Douro-bordvine i absolut topklasse. Med en kompromisløs forkærlighed for gamle vinmarker med field blends, minimal intervention i vinfremstillingen og et unikt terroirudtryk skaber vinhuset hyldede tørre vine som Batuta, Charme og Redoma sideløbende med nyere projekter i Bairrada og Dão. I dag står Niepoort som et globalt beundret pejlemærke for portugisisk vinkunst, der ubesværet forener en tidløs portvinsarv med innovative, elegante og mineralske bordvine.
