Niepoort Bastardo Tinto

The grapes were placed with 100% whole bunches in stainless steel vats, undergoing a maceration process of around two weeks. Once this stage was completed, the wine was pressed and began its malolactic fermentation in old wooden barrels, remaining in ageing for approximately 20 months. A very lively and open red colour, it displays a very fine and delicate aroma. It is fresh, full of wild aromas and good vegetal notes, very typical of the grape variety, but also of the whole-bunch fermentation. On the palate, although very marked by red fruit, it has a good balance, with very light and polished tannins, becoming vibrant thanks to a well-defined acidity. With low concentration, the Bastardo is a very fresh wine, with a rustic profile, reminiscent of old-fashioned wines. A very long and precise finish. Contains sulphites.
