Colheita 2009, 37,5cl

Douro

Niepoort

The Colheita Ports are Tawny Ports from a single year, aged in cask for at least seven years before bottling. This Colheita is delicious when enjoyed at the end of a meal, paired with desserts and nuts, or as an aperitif, making it perfect with foie gras.

Vinification: The 2009 harvest was challenging, affected by the high temperatures in August and September. However, it produced wines of great quality and diversity. The grapes were manually harvested in September from vines over 60 years old. Fermentation took place in lagares, with foot treading.

Aging: The wine was aged in casks over 50 years old.

Bottled: First bottling took place in October 2019.

Serving Suggestions: Ideal with nuts, jams, and desserts based on egg yolk, coffee, or vanilla. Perfectly paired with almond tart. As an aperitif, it should be served chilled.

Niepoort Vinhos

The Niepoort family has been creating Port Wines since 1842. The first property in Douro was bought in 1987 and Dirk Niepoort started a new Era in the company with the creation of the first Redoma red in 1991. In the last years Niepoort took on the great challenge of interpreting other soils and climates and acquired two properties in other regions, Dão and Bairrada. Discover the Niepoort Triangle which express the different terroirs: Schist (Douro), Limestone (Bairrada) and Granite (Dão).
