Niepoort Bastardo Red

The grapes were deposited with 100% stalks, in stainless steel vats in a maceration process of about two weeks. After this phase of the process was concluded, the wine was pressed and began its malolactic fermentation in old wooden barrels, remaining in the stage for about 20 months. Very bright and open red color, showing a very fine and delicate aroma. It is fresh, full of wild aromas and good vegetable notes very typical of the variety, but also from fermentation with stems. In the mouth, despite being marked by red fruit, it has a good balance, with very light and polished tannins, it becomes vibrant thanks to a well-marked acidity. With low concentration, Bastardo is a very fresh wine, with a rustic profile, reminiscent of old-fashioned wines. Very long and precise finish. Contains sulfites.
