Niepoort Navazos Blanco 2022
HK$ 318.46
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The first of the unfortified whites from Jerez with some aging under flor produced together with Niepoort from Portugal since 2008, the 2022 Navazos-Niepoort is now in its 15th vintage. As always, it was produced with grapes from a single vineyard, Macharnudo in Jerez. 2022 is a classical and balanced vintage in the zone. It fermented the old way, in old 600-liter Sherry casks and aged for some 10 months in the bota under a veil of flor yeast, as the barrels are only filled to five-sixths of their capacity. It rested in tank, also with flor, for a couple of months before it was bottled in August 2023. The wine has 12% alcohol, a pH of 3.07 and 5.65 grams of acidity. 4,700 bottles and 450 magnums were produced.

Description
Niepoort Navazos Blanco: A unique collaboration between Dirk Niepoort and Equipo Navazos results in this white wine, made from 100% Palomino Fino grapes. These grapes come from one of the historic Albariza vineyards, located in the Spanish region of Jerez de La Frontera.
Winemaking
Following the rigorous criteria of the best winemaking techniques of two centuries ago, the grapes were fermented with indigenous yeasts in 40 year old American oak barrels. The wine was then aged without fortification, under veil, at a controlled temperature for 10 months. The barrels were filled to 5/6 of their capacity (500 l of 600 l) to allow the yeasts to develop. Malolactic fermentation was not carried out.
Taste
Niepoort Navazos Blanco is a different wine, vibrant, fresh and saline. It stands out for showing the pure expression of the chalky soil. It is the perfect accompaniment for all kinds of "tapas", showing its best version always accompanied by food. Despite being a full-bodied wine, it is not heavy, and although it is dry, it is not aggressive. Its tasting notes reveal typical Jerez aromas, with hints of limestone and chalk dust.
