O Produtor, tasting note published in August 23rd 2013

Intense and vivid color, with notes of very fresh and well-defined black and red fruits. Aromas of black and red pepper, with strong mineral presence and a scent of wet stone, light touch of tobacco leaf. On the palate, it is very lively and elegant, with a well-defined structure completely integrated into the wine. Lush and juicy, it has a refreshing acidity that, combined with the typical concentration of old vines, gives us a very persistent finish and hints at great aging potential.

Niepoort

Telmo Rodrigues is a very well-known Spanish winemaker and producer, with extensive winemaking experience in different Spanish regions. His great interest in the Douro region merged with Niepoort’s desire to explore different winemaking solutions in various terroirs, and from this partnership, Omlet was born. It comes from old vines, over 60 years old, planted at higher altitudes and exposed to the east, which generally have slower and more balanced maturations. The main grape varieties are Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz, but there is also some Sousão and Alicante Bouschet. The idea was to let Telmo’s vision for low-extraction winemaking shine through, aiming to produce a wine without harsh edges.

VINIFICATION: The fermentation was carried out in a wooden lagares with full destemming, with a maceration period of 25 days, without extraction. The wine aged for 18 months in French oak barrels (228L) and used barrels (2000L).

FOOD PAIRING SUGGESTION: Maronesa beef, meat chunk, wild boar.

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).
