Niepoort Manzanilla Solera

Aromas of salt, seaweed, kelp and dried lemon. Honeysuckle, too. Full body with lots of salt and mineral character, as well as pine needles, smoke and flint. Umami finish. A joint production from Portugal’s Dirk Niepoort and Barbadillo. Blend of different barrels and three years old. Drink now.

This is a new wine born from a collaboration with Barbadillo from Sanlúcar. The NV Manzanilla Solera Niepoort is from the Trinidad solera and has marked biological notes, intense and tasty. It's a blending exercise (like in Port), mixing younger and older wines, and it has some citrus notes, a sign of youth, freshness and elegance. It's subtle and has great finesse. It should be bottled in autumn 2024. They expect a first release of 800 bottles.
