TASTING NOTE
Colour

Clean, clear and bright. Garnet color with slightly violet reflections, and where it has an intensity of medium - high layer. Very nice to look at.

AROMA:

On the nose, its complex aromas are a clear representation of the terroir from which it comes. Mineral notes come in perfect symbiosis with the spicy, herbaceous and black and red fruit aromas.

TASTE:

Mouth where it impresses with its precision, its incredible structure and grip. Of high acidity and present and remarkable tannins augur a long life and with a wonderful evolution. Long, fresh and persistent finish.

MATCHING
Its elegance makes it a tremendously versatile wine for all kinds of cuisine. Meat dishes, sausages, pasta, rice and even some fish cooked in the oven or grilled.
WHO CAN CONTRACT
The Poeirinho is a wine produced solely from the grapes of our Quinta de Baixo vineyards. These are grown organically and carry the SATIVA certification.Poeirinho, whose name refers to the former designation of the Baga grape variety, is a tribute to the great Bairrada wines of the past, which were light in colour and low in alcohol but offered a tremendous ageing potential. Dirk Niepoort’s great passion for this grape variety and the fantastic terroir of the Bairrada region inspired us over the past few years to acquire a number of small but very old Baga vineyard sites around the Cantanhede area. Winter 2016/2017 in Bairrada was very dry. Spring saw some precipitation at the end of April and beginning May, but a very dry Summer followed. The low levels of humidity reduced the risk of disease to practically zero and therefore also eliminated the need for vine treatments. Due to the extremely hot and dry conditions, the fruit ripened very quickly. Harvesting began 3 weeks earlier than in the previous year, beginning on 17 August and ending on 19 September. It was a good vintage, with the wines showing higher alcohol contents than in the previous year, but with very balanced acidity. The 2017 Poeirinho was made using grapes from various very old vineyard parcels. It was fermented in open lagares and in closed tanks where it went through carbonic maceration and where it remained for 4 weeks, before completing its fermentation in wooden vats. The wine went through malolactic fermentation in the used 2500L wooden vats, where it also aged for 20 months. It was bottled unfiltered.
