Description

Niepoort Caracolete is a wine produced from old vines and fermented spontaneously with whole berries, using grapes from an old hillside vineyard. It was vinified in stainless steel, with the wine fermenting on the skins for a month, then going through malolactic fermentation, and ageing for 5 years. It was bottled unfiltered.

Tasting Notes

The wine displays pale straw hues. On the palate, pronounced aromas of limestone & orange blossom. Its high, citrus-like acidity lifts the wine to show its unique character: fresh, complex, distinctly elegant and fine. An austere and profoundly mineral finish concludes the wine. A serious and extraordinary wine which should be served in a Burgundy wine glass.
