@NoSediment Agnes, as you are here already I have a question for you if you dont mind. What do the Wine youtubers do with the opened bottles? Do you guys keep drinking it? Maybe thats also a video idea, "how to store an opened bottle of wine"
In all honesty, many wines are being used for cooking. Some we do finish, as I try to Coravin them. Some bottles I share with my friends and colleagues. Yes, video with this topic would be interesting. 🤔
I really enjoyed this interview! There are several videos of Dirk on RUclips, but it was nice to see his son talk about port and Douro wines. This was the first time I've ever heard a meaningful discussion about aguardente. It's usually...brandy is added to kill the yeast and stop fermentation. I also liked that he mentioned other wine professionals - Delaforce, David Guimaraens, Gaia Gaja, and Angelo Gaja. Too bad he didn't open a Porto Garrafeira!
it is so amusing hearing young guy in Douro is going through philosophical struggles with locals when it comes to cover crop and grass. going through exactly same thing, here in Kakheti Georgia. constant struggle to explain why grass is not an enemy😅
An amazing video!!! Would love more videos on port and even sherry which was mentioned. Here in America I feel port/sherry is not as popular. When I have family or friends over, I try to have a bottle or two of port for dessert. Keep up the excellent work.
I will try to do my best! And I agree, Fortified wine category is struggling in many markets, and I feel so sad about it, because quality-wise it is the best it could have ever been!
I don't think cover crops can be a problem and recent research shows that it is not the case. Indeed, they can even help the vine. We also have cover crops and they are beneficial to our vine. By the way, you should visit Niepoort's place in the Douro Valley (Quinta de Nápoles), it's beautiful.
@@NoSediment The only thing I would add to this great interview is that Portugal is much more than the Douro Valley. Bairrada, Dão, Lisbon, and the others are all exciting wine regions with fantastic wines. I know Douro attracts everyone because of the landscape and Port wines, but there are many jewels here.
@sebszab76 of course there are. But we were in Douro and interviewed one of the most iconic producer of the region. Unfortunately we cannot touch every single gem in a such a short interview. 😢
Good stuff. Sometimes your job is pretty good eh? :) I suspect all wine benefits from at least a slight chill. Even the types that aren't to be chilled are still better at a little below room temperature. Say 15-18 ℃. I had Barolo last night that was like that. I think that a slight chill underlines the general freshness of wine. Jancis Robinson said in an interview that it was a pet peeve of hers that she often had to ask for a chill when she ordered red wines at a restaurant. Obrigado.
Ein sehr interessante Doku 👌🏻👍🏻
Highlights show what a great guy he is. Thanks for the video.
He truly is a great person, and these meetings always give me energy to continue what I do. So inspiring!

Thank You. 🙏🏻 hahaha, I was happy he did open 1988 LBV which showed that contrary to popular belief that LBV should not be aged - it can age! 😅
Last time I saw Daniel we were sipping on a gorgeous Swiss Pinot he made in collaboration with a friend. Love that guy!
You remember which Swiss Pinot? Cheers from Switzerland 🇨🇭
He is a very nice person indeed’ 🙏🏻
@@eniggli It must have been from Manuel Tschanz family vineyard.

I am so happy to read that idea about cover crop is becoming more widespread. More and more vineyards will be green! 🙌

Awesome post. Looking forward to visiting in September. Douro is amazing. 😎😎😎
One of my favourite wine regions to visit, no doubt! 🙌
Tweetie Pie Agnese. Great podcast once again. 😍🍑🍉🍊
Die Name Niepoort ist von der Niederlande 🇳🇱

Exactly, cover crop is not the problem, this is why more and more viticulturists are experimenting with it. 🙌

@@NoSediment Of course not. I just tried to give you some hints at what to visit in the future🙂
