Niepoort's entry point to the thrilling wines of Quinta de Baixo opens with blackberries, violets, and stone minerality before revealing a medium-bodied, supple palate lined with silky tannins and tender fruit. This Baga was hand-harvested and fermented the old-fashioned way—four weeks in open lagares with foot-treading, then 20 months in bottle before release. The 25-hectare estate sits on calcareous clay soils, farmed biodynamically since 2012. An ethereal finish and structural integrity that rewards cellaring while drinking beautifully now.

"The 2021 Lagar de Baixo has around 30% grapes from producers and the rest from their property. They had a heat wave in July and August and only about four days of rain during the harvest, which is a problem because the Baga skin is quite thin, the bunches are tight, the skins can burst and botrytis appears. So, the harvest in Bairrada has to be `surgical,` as winemaker Sergio told me. They managed to get good fruit by sorting and selecting. The destemmed grapes fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured in 2,500-liter oak vats for 22 months. It`s easy to drink and has fine tannins, without the concentration and tannins of the older vines (but this comes from vines of around 40 years of age) and has the chalkiness of the limestone soils. It makes you salivate and want to drink more. It has 12% alcohol, vibrant freshness and purity of flavors." —Luis Gutiérrez
