Description
Niepoort Ladredo is the result of a brave gamble by Dirk Niepoort, one of the most restless winemakers in the world of wine. Fascinated by the extreme heroic viticulture of the Ribeira Sacra, Dirk found on the vertiginous slopes of the river Sil a place where wine is not made, but pulled from the earth. With the help of Pedro Guímaro, a local reference and passionate defender of the traditional Galician vineyard, and together with other local winegrowers, he recovered the Ladredo vineyard, with old Mencía and Garnacha Tintorera vines, planted on slate and granite soils in impossible terraces. A traditional, almost monastic viticulture that reflects the soul of the place: austere, vertical and deeply Atlantic.
Winemaking
Niepoort Ladredo is harvested entirely by hand, in small boxes, in order to preserve the freshness of the grapes. Once in the winery, fermentation takes place in open vats with stems, enhancing the structure and providing tannic complexity. The wine undergoes a prolonged maceration and is then aged for 22 months in used French oak barrels, without filtering or fining, in a process that respects the expression of the terroir and the variety.
Taste
In the glass, Niepoort Ladredo shows an elegant profile, with a nose that blends fresh red fruits, sour cherry, black pepper and dried herbs. There are also notes of undergrowth, dried flowers and subtle minerality. The palate is refined, with vibrant acidity, fine tannin and airy texture. The fruit is clear but restrained, wrapped in a slender structure, with a saline and stony background that lengthens the finish. It does not seek impact, but depth and purity. Niepoort Ladredo is Galicia naked in the glass: vertical, essential and profoundly authentic.
