Description

Dirk van der Niepoort's dream has long been to create wines in the microclimate of the granite-rich vineyards of the Dãos. He found what he was looking for and his crazy idea in these crazy times took shape in the form of this wine: The Crazy Hatter White! From indigenous grape varieties planted more than 50 years ago in the traditional blended style, this refined white wine was created: very traditional like in the good old days, to add complexity to the wines. On the nose, the white Dão is invitingly floral and fruity, reminiscent of white flowers, peaches, vanilla cream and a hint of mint. On the palate, one is struck by its juiciness, its "vibrant" citrus aromas, cool, refreshing mint notes and yellow stone fruit flavours. Remarkably delicate with a pleasant grip and well balanced. Its mouthwatering salinity makes it a very enjoyable wine to drink. About the label: Those who have seen Niepoort know that he often wears a hat
