Morgadio da Calçada branco 2021
Region: Douro
Producer: Niepoort
Morgadio da Calçada is a small-scale project run by the Niepoort estate at an altitude of 600 m in the middle of the Douro valley on schist terraces.The typicity of Morgadio de Calçada wines comes first of all from the altitude of the vineyard which is located in the village of Provesende at 600m. At night, the grapes benefit from a freshness that slows down the ripening process and ensures that the acidity remains high in the juice, which is necessary for the energy, freshness and ageing potential of the wine.
On the nose, a touch of honey and acacia flowers. On the palate fat and structure, with hints of hazelnuts and toast. Also a beautiful acidity with a finish on the freshness and complexity!
