Century-old vines of Maria Gomes and Bical rooted in Bairrada’s limestone-rich soils yield wines of remarkable lightness and mineral grip. Dirk Niepoort fermented this wine in massive wooden foudres with minimal sulfur dioxide for nearly two years, bottling unfined and unfiltered to preserve its crystalline purity. Full body and deep minerality, with dried fruit character and impressive aging potentiala testament to biodynamic farming and patient winemaking. A white wine that commands attention.
