Gonçalves Faria Branco 2017, Niepoort
Region: Bairrada
Producer: Niepoort
António Maia Ferreira Faria was one of the most iconic Bairrada producers of the 90s. Wines such as the Tonel 5 1990 or the Reserva 1991 will forever remain engraved in Bairrada’s wine history. It is a great privilege for Dirk Niepoort, who used to distribute these wines, to work with these magnificent vineyards. Year after year, we aim to produce timeless wines with depth and character which pay homage to the late António Maia Ferreira Faria and his son João Pedro who is now in charge of the work in these vineyards.Riesling-like bouquet: austere, with aromas of dried fruit, smoky notes as well as citrus and apricot elements. Superbly integrated oak and bottle ageing makes this a serious, rich, and structured white wine. Its pronounced acidity rounds off this deeply sophisticated wine, culminating in a lingering, almost piquant finish.
