NAT’Cool! Tinto Navarra
Dirk Niepoort's NAT'Cool! range of wines were created to meet certain criteria : be made as naturally as possible, be low alcohol, be terroir-driven, use native grapes to the region, be affordable, and be so smashable that it's only sold in 1L bottles. In 2020, the Nat Cool family grew with this foray into Navarra, the result of one of son Daniel Niepoort’s numerous trips to Spain where he came across incredible old Garnacha bush vines rooted in calcareous schist soils at Viña Zorzal. This was native fermented in stainless and cement. This is a light and lifted Garnacha, with candle wax, wild strawberry, crushed roses, rhubarb, hugged by finely gritty tannins and dusted with white pepper. There is a lovely lifted floral perfume here, showing Garnacha's lighter side. A welcome addition to the family.
“They look for a fresher and more drinkable version of Garnacha with their 2020 Drink Me Nat'Cool Navarra, a wine with 13.1% alcohol and a low pH of 3.3 produced with grapes from the village of Fitero. They had to select the grapes to find the ones with a lower pH and fermented them with 20% full clusters and indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and then bottled the wine unoaked. It's pale and light following the Nat'Cool principles, easy to drink, juicy, fruit forward; it fills the mouth but it's not terribly complex. A pretty Garnacha. There are 9,000 one-liter bottles of this wine that was about to be bottled (they were waiting for new personalized bottles!) when I tasted a sample from a 750-milliliter bottle at the end of September 2021. Drink 2022 - 2026.” - 91 points, Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, November 11, 2022.
