Dirk Niepoort's Nat'Cool' project features 1L bottles of wine in lighter styles. This Baga from Portugal has strawberry and cherry fruity aromas and a light spice on the palate.
Hand picked native grapes, Castelao, Aragonez, and Touriga Nacional. Fermented in stainless steel for 6 - 8 months to preserve the fresh aromas and flavours of ripe cherries, raspberry, vanilla, and hints of spice.
A single-vineyard wine from the Torto river valley, with 21 months of elevage. Moving from a nose of black currant, black cherry, and plum, into a robust, structured body rich with tertiary qualities, with the fruit notes lasting through a long and pleasant finish. Worthy of the cellar, or great to drink now.
