Niepoort Morgadio da Calcada 2020 Red
Mordiago da Calçada is a small-scale project managed by the Niepoort estate at an altitude of 600 m in the middle of the Douro valley on schist terraces.
The typicity of Morgadio de Calçada wines comes first of all from the altitude of the vineyard which is located in the village of Provesende at 600m. At night, the grapes benefit from a freshness that slows down the ripening process and ensures that the acidity remains high in the juice, which is necessary for the energy, freshness and ageing potential of the wine.
Fresh and elegant red wine, very balanced and complex. A very attractive tasteful wine with an aroma of red fruits. The tannins are soft but present. The aftertaste is long and fresh and has slightly spicy notes. An excellent wine that is ready to be drunk now

After a rigorous manual selection, first in the vineyard and then on a selection table in the cellars, the grapes are completely de-stemmed and fermented in open stainless steel vats and small oak barrels.
