O Produtor, tasting note published in July 28th 2023

Batuta is probably the most structured of our wines, alongside Robustus. The colour is deep, with violet hints when swirled. On the nose, it shows the typical graphite note, floral nuances, and a base of wild berries such as blackberry and cassis, beautifully integrated with the oak. On the palate, it is youthful, precise, and structured, yet always fresh and elegant. The finish is long, persistent, and spicy.

Batuta

Less is more — this is the concept behind this wine. Batuta is a wine of extremes: it has more of everything, yet it shows a discreet character. The tannins are present but very fine, the aroma is intense but never exuberant. It’s a wine full of concentration from old Douro vines, but it remains fresh and elegant.

The core of the wine comes from the Carril vineyard, over 70 years old and north-facing, allowing for slow and balanced ripening. The grapes also come from other century-old vineyards near Quinta de Nápoles. This wine is the result of a delicate winemaking process, with long but gentle macerations, and meticulous attention to every detail — to achieve a truly great wine: complex, refined, and elegant.

Vinification: After a careful selection in the vineyard and winery, fermentation took place in stainless steel vats, with skin contact maceration for about 80 days. The wine then aged for approximately 20 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which were new.

Food pairing: Batuta is highly versatile and pairs wonderfully with both meat and fish, such as monkfish, squid, or roasted octopus.

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).
