Hate to use this comparison, but it’s a point of reference: this taste like high quality white Rhône blend. It’s a 2017 and it’s tight at opening with umami notes which turn to the lightest gooseberry unctuous concoction you’ve ever tasted (in due time). The finish retains plenty of acidity and balance to keep you sipping. Dirk Niepoort is a wizard; and the native Portuguese varietals dance to the tune of his wand in this bottle.
