Niepoort Navazos Blanco 2023
£30.02 (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / North Ireland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Next to the 2022, I also tasted the 2023 Navazos-Niepoort, which has 1% more alcohol, 13%, but looking at the parameters, it's also higher in acidity and freshness. This is a rendition of the old wines, fermented in bota, where it matured under a veil of yeasts for around 10 months. I caught the wine a week before it was bottled, and the wine felt a little reductive and backward, but it's also a little bit the character of the year. Despite 2023 being a less warm year than 2022, the alcohol levels are higher in 2023, but they go unnoticed because the wines have very good acidity, freshness and balance. I guess this will age even better than the 2022. 4,000 bottles and 400 magnums were produced. It was bottled in September 2024.
