Morgadio da Calçada Branco Reserva 2023: fresh, mineral and complex, from Provesende.
Tasting note
An intensely mineral character with notes of citrus and white flowers. Lively and very complex on the palate, with extreme freshness at the same time. The smoky oak notes are present but well integrated. Best enjoyed in a Bordeaux glass.
The story
A fresh white with the character of Provesende: fresh, mineral and complex. The vineyards are more than twenty years old, mainly Códega and Viosinho. The wine ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, without malolactic fermentation.
Food pairing
Delicious as an aperitif, with cheeses, seafood, baked or grilled fish, seafood pasta and white meat.
The producer
Niepoort was founded in 1842 in Vila Nova de Gaia and has belonged to the Dutch Van der Niepoort family for five generations. For more than a century it was a Port shipper without vineyards of its own. That changed when Dirk Niepoort joined his father Rolf in 1987: that year the family bought Quinta de Nápoles on the Tedo, in the Cima Corgo, followed by Quinta do Carril in 1988.
With the first Redoma in 1991 Niepoort became one of the pioneers of unfortified Douro wine, and a new winery was completed at Quinta de Nápoles in 2007. Dirk Niepoort also works in Bairrada, the Dão, Vinho Verde and the Mosel, and his son Daniel joined him at the helm in 2020. The Ports age in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia.
