Niepoort Tiara Branco 2024

The 2024 Tiara is possibly the one white that was better than the 2023. It's the only white from granite soils at high altitude, from a year when the wine made me again think of a Riesling, which it's not, of course; it only has a little more Verdelho than the other whites, but it has the delicate aromatics of white flowers, citrus and stones. It fermented and aged in old German foudres with full malolactic and has the purity and elegance of the finest vintages and is fine and subtle. 13,200 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2026. Drink Date: 2026 - 2034.
