Ok this is excellent oxidative white wine, and has all the qualities I love in great fino sherry. But then again I wonder when drinking why not just drink good fino?

Fino like in character but completely fresh. So salty! Great to drink with fried oysters, fried sardines, fried anything.

International Sherry week has started! I'm always there with beautifully individual bottling, revealing Flor aromas and flavors, freshness and minerality. Great wine made personal.

Intriguing experimental white wine. Spain in origin with Portuguese and Spanish winemaking partnership. Mineral, almond, white blossoms and apple skin notes. Fresh on the palate ans sherry like in flavor without the bitterness from the flor of a Fino sherry. Tasted great the second evening matching the profile with a little more depth and freshness. #niepoort

I see what they were trying to do, but the ethyl acetate just dominated the aroma and nose. Shame as it did have some interesting character.

So. Damn. Good. Layers of complexity, bright food-friendly acidity. Baked apple, nutty, and citric tang. Truly unique

2009. By far the most age worthy of the first few vintages of this wine. Saline, apple, yeasty, and broad on the palate. Just getting denser with age. Not yet losing the tension that keeps the wine feeling fresh.
