Projecto de Dirk Nieport, Vinho Verde DOC (Portugal) 2020

Aug 25, 2021

By Rebecca Murphy

 From winemaker Dirk Niepoort, of the Niepoort Port family, comes this single variety Loureiro from the Vinho Verde wine region.  You have probably enjoyed the most available style of Vinho Verde, namely, an inexpensive, refreshing, slightly spritzy, low-alcohol warm-weather wine.  Dócil, is an elegant example of the more serious wines being made in Vinho Verde.  Lemon zest and flowers dominate the aromas and mingle in the mouth with flavors of green apples, grapefruit and hints of fresh herbs and dusty minerals.  The fruit is enhanced by steely acidity.  Enjoy it with fresh oysters or scallop ceviche.
