Ladredo 2012
Region: Spanje
Producer: Niepoort
The constant search and willingness to learn more led Dirk Niepoort to the beautiful and impressive Galician wine region of Ribeira Sacra. With the help of a Spanish winemaker who knew well the region, a traditional vineyard, called Ladredo, was found on the slopes of River Sil. It is planted in small terraces, with stone walls and east exposure.Mencía is the most important grape variety, with a very interesting aromatic profile, and the ability to originate wines with excellent acidity and great elegance.
This wine is full of character, elegant, fresh and very complex. It shows fresh fruit notes and spicy aromas like black pepper and cinnamon, tobacco, tea and leaf notes, with great mineral presence coming from the schist soils of the region. In the palate, it's elegant and wild at the same time, showing very deep fruit, with great structure supported by silky tannins. It ends with an amazing acidity, into a long and persistent after taste, promising a long life in the bottle.
