The producer, tasting note published in 27/05/2020

Dócil (Docile) is made 100% with the Muscatel Galego variety, a variety with a very distinctive identity, characterised by its floral and citric aromas. It has been made light, fresh and jovial, based on the acidity and aromatic expression of the grape variety. Given its low alcohol content and some residual sugar, it has an excellent harmony, inspired by the white wines from Germany. Like the cat, it is docile, but with a unique personality and very strong.

About this Wine

Planted at an altitude of over 500 meters in the Alijó region, the Moscatel Galego grapes were harvested in mid-September and then transported in cold storage to the Quinta de Nápoles winery. Being healthy grapes with high acidity and low sugar content, they resulted in a must with great aging potential.

The alcoholic fermentation process was initiated in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature with the fine lees, then interrupted by cold, followed by a transfer to an isothermal tank to maintain a balanced level of sugar and acidity.

About this Winery

The Niepoort family has been creating Port Wines since 1842. The first property in Douro was bought in 1987 and Dirk Niepoort started a new Era in the company with the creation of the first Redoma red in 1991. In the last years Niepoort took on the great challenge of interpreting other soils and climates and acquired two properties in other regions, Dão and Bairrada. Discover the Niepoort Triangle which express the different terroirs: Schist (Douro), Limestone (Bairrada) and Granite (Dão).
