Niepoort is a Portuguese winery that was founded in 1842. It is currently run by Dirk Niepoort, fifth generation of the family it is named after. They use traditional Portuguese techniques such as grape treading, fermentation in cement tanks or aging in pipes, 550-litre port-aging barrels, whilst also using new technologies that ensure the grapes are handled with care. The winery has vines in different locations, some of which are over 100 years old, and an aging cellar in the town of Vila Nova de Gaia.
The Niepoort Dry White vines have an average age of 30 years old and are planted in shale soils. The planting density of the plots ranges from 4,000 to 6,000 plants per hectare and the harvest is carried out manually to take the best care of the grapes.
The Niepoort Dry White vintage ferments in presses and macerates for a long time with the skins. It is occasionally pressed to extract compounds from the skins. It ferments until there is about 50gr / l of sugar left and then wine alcohol is added. Finally the wine ages in the Vila Nova de Gaia cellar for a minimum of 3 years.
Niepoort Dry White is a wine made in the traditional style that macerates with skins for a long time. The final coupage includes different wines aged in oak with an average aging of three and a half years.

Niepoort
This winery has belonged to the Van der Niepoort since 1848, when it was ceded by Eduard Krebe, who founded it six years earlier. Currently, the company is directed by Rolf van der Niepoort and his son, Dirk, the fifth generation. It is one of the most renowned Portuguese wine companies in the world, both for its quality —only 16 vintages classified as Vintage in 60 years— and for the great personality and inimitable style of its wines.
