saline acidity

a firm counterpoint to the region's historical caricatures

A layer of marl & limestone is found at only 40cm from the surface which gives a higher calcareous character to the wine”

2014 Niepoort Lomba Conciso Tinto, Dao, Portugal Zusslin saline acidityQuinta da Lomba Tinto carries within it the full potential of the Do grape varieties and clearly expresses the excellence of its century old vineyards. At the very first tasting, it was described as a special wine! The labels details reveal the cover crops present in each of the vineyards something we can only identify because we dont use herbicides. Our vineyards may not be the prettiest, but the grapes are fantastic! Daniel Niepoort
