The Niepoort family, legendary for their work in the Douro, ventures into the verdant Minho region to craft 'Dócil,' a wine that perfectly captures the essence of the Lima Valley. Focused entirely on the Loureiro grape, the vines are rooted in granitic soils that contribute to the wine's striking freshness and signature mineral cut. To preserve the varietal's delicate aromatics, the grapes undergo a soft pressing without skin maceration, followed by a cool fermentation. The resulting wine is incredibly light and elegant, offering vibrant aromas of white flowers, lime zest, and wet stone, driven by a crisp, saline acidity. Varietal: Loureiro Appellation: Vinho Verde, Portugal Farming: Sustainable Style: White. Dry, crisp and floral
