Dirk Niepoort is the 5th generation of his family to run Niepoort Vinhos. Founded as a Port House in 1842, they are known for their superb Port wines. However, they are now also considered to be one of the top Portuguese producers of table wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WineMason","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54455972790616,"sku":"114371","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/ADN-Vinho-Verde-Alvarinho-2023-whelehans-wines-dublin-winestore.jpg?v=1741707557"},{"product_id":"auntsfield-single-vineyard-sauvignon-blanc-2025","title":"Auntsfield Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, 2025","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePowerful, Tight, and Elegant Single Estate Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"teaser-text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003eThe wine presents a clear, pale straw hue.

Today, he farms nearly eight hectares of certified organic vineyards spread across Beaujolais-Villages, Lantignié, Morgon, Régnié, and Chiroubles.
