TN: 2020 Niepoort Nat'Cool Voyeur Douro Red

Post by Stewart T. »

  • 2020 Niepoort Nat'Cool Voyeur Douro Red - Portugal, Douro (4/19/2022)
    This is a new "category" of wine championed by Dirk Niepoort, To be Nat'Cool, a wine must align to a set of "rules" (though to be fair, rule #1 is "There are no rules"). However, Nat'Cool wines "should" be produced using natural or low-intervention methods, be low in alcohol, be terroir-driven and be affordable. Affordable drinkability is the name of the game here. The Voyeur is aged 8 months in amphora, which adds notes of clay and earthiness. Not overly complex or sophisticated, but an interesting wine to try. I think this might be my first wine aged in a clay amphora.
