Cordula Alessandri

Dutch Portuguese dynamo, Dirk van der Niepoort, had another of his amazing ideas: this time it was for a cuvée from the Douro valley, specially made for the German market bearing the German name “Fabelhaft” (fabulous).

The cuvée was such a success in Germany that Dirk extended the concept to other countries.
