This Loureiro stems from its traditional home, the Lima Valley, and is produced from vines growing in granitic soils. The aromatic profile of this grape is beautifully expressive, with predominant floral and mineral aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a consistent performer wine which beautifully shows the typicity of its grape varietal as well as the region. Great to have with Sushi, Indian, or Thai cuisines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNiepoort was founded in 1842 by Franciscus Marius Niepoort and is now in its fifth generation under Dirk Niepoort and his children Daniel, Marco, and Ana. Based in the Douro and Porto, the family is best known for vintage and aged tawny Port, but Dirk has spent decades developing a portfolio of dry table wines across Portugal's appellations. The Dócil is a collaboration with local Lima Valley growers, sourcing Loureiro from its traditional home rather than the more southerly Vinho Verde subzones. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martine's Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51572113113394,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/3206\/7378\/files\/5_a542e6b1-39a8-42b8-93d4-efe848a5cc86.webp?v=1786749197","url":"https:\/\/slakesf.com\/products\/niepoort-docil-2025-loureiro-vinho-verde","provider":"SLAKE San Francisco Bottle \u0026 Sundry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
