Niepoort Dão Rótulo Tinto

Niepoort Dão Rótulo Tinto is a red wine produced in the Dão region of Portugal. The wine is made by the Niepoort winery, which is known for producing high-quality wines with a focus on traditional winemaking techniques and sustainable viticulture.

The wine is a blend of several indigenous grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Jaen, Alfrocheiro, and others. The wine has a deep ruby red color and aromas of black fruit, such as blackberry and black cherry, along with hints of spice and floral notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, velvety texture and flavours of dark fruit, chocolate, and a touch of earthiness. The wine has a long, balanced finish with fine tannins.

Niepoort Dão Rótulo Tinto is a wine that reflects the unique terroir of the Dão region, which is characterized by its granite soils, high elevation, and cool climate. The wine is aged in oak barrels for 12 months, which gives it a subtle oak influence that complements the wine's fruit and spice flavours.

This wine pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, stews, and hearty soups. It is also a great wine to enjoy on its own, as it is balanced and flavourful enough to be sipped and savoured slowly.
