Sparkling dry
Niepoort Espumante Água Viva Bairrada DOC 2018 – an exceptional sparkling wine from Bairrada that enchants with its elegant citrus fruit aroma and refreshing taste. This is a superb choice for those seeking a subtle and vibrant sparkling drink from Portugal, perfectly reflecting the distinctiveness of the Bairrada region.
This bright and versatile wine features a pale lemon hue and excellent, persistent mousse, with citrus aromas that express Bairrada's terroir. The Bairrada region is ideally suited for sparkling wine production. Its calcareous soil and the natural acidity of the 'Bical', 'Cercial', and 'Maria Gomes' grape varieties are key factors that allow for the creation of top-quality sparkling wines here.
The wine is crafted using the traditional method of sparkling wine production and aged for 36 months on its lees in the cellars of Quinta de Baixo. It is refreshing, with bright acidity, and a long-lasting finish.
Serve at 8-10 °C with dishes such as suckling pig, kid goat roasted in a wood-fired oven as well as cod.
Niepoort is an independent family business since 1842. Through five generations, the business passed successfully from one Niepoort to the next Niepoort and in most cases older and younger generation worked side by side for a long period. At this time, we are enthusiastically looking forward to the future sixth generation, anticipating close collaboration
