Nat Cool, Dourado Branco

Tasting Notes

Nat Cool Dourado Branco is a unique, natural skin-contact white wine (often called an orange wine) created by the famous Portuguese winemaker Dirk Niepoort. It belongs to the Nat Cool project, which focuses on making light, easy-to-drink, low-intervention wines packaged in fun, one-litre bottles.

The wine is fermented in traditional stone tanks called lagares, where the grape juices sit with the grape skins for about 11 days. This skin contact gives the wine its beautiful amber colour.

It feels smooth and supple in the mouth but stays alive with a bright, mouthwatering acidity. It finishes with a slight salty, savory edge that makes it incredibly refreshing and easy to drink despite its complex layers.
