O Produtor, tasting note published in July 23rd 2016

Chestnut/deep mahogany colour, with olive green tinges. Limpid, crystalline, with a clearly marked tear. An explosion of great intensity and concentration on the nose. Silky and enveloping, it transmits, successively, aromas of dried fruit, raisins, honey, fireplace smoke, cigar leaf and coffee. On the mouth, the wine envelops the whole palate with rich, delicious flavours, combined with a vibrant acidity, resulting in an intense wine with an appreciable freshness. The finish is long, very long and pleasant.

Niepoort

VINIFICATION
The base for this blend is a very fine Port from 1863, of the highest quality, exquisitely aged in casks until 1972, and then “bottled” in demijohns. The ancient and rare wines that are part of this batch, along with their ageing in demijohns, make this Port unique and with a huge potential for ageing in bottle.

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).
