With a classic style, a long oxidative ageing process and good extract as a result of extended skin maceration. Serve chilled as an aperitif, alternatively appreciate it with dessert or on its own at the end of a meal. Golden in colour, exhibits a complex aroma of dried fruits dominated by orange peel and dried figs, as well as walnuts and roasted almonds. A floral touch completes the aroma. On the palate it is very fine and balanced, with a vibrant acidity balancing it s sweet character, interacting with the fortifying spirit to perfection and giving the wine a superb structure. The white grapes undergo a long period of skin maceration and are foot trodden. Following the addition of grape brandy, the White Port spends a year in large oak vats, followed by ageing in traditional oak pipes for a period of between 7 and 15 years. Prior to bottling, a selection of the best White Ports was made and the resulting wines were blended. From the operation resulted this 10 Years Old White! Product. Niepoort 10 Years Old White Region.

Ruby Niepoort Port Wine Niepoort Ruby At Niepoort we believe that the colour of the port should be inspired by the "rubi stone" (instead of black dark colour Ruby). Niepoort Ruby is is a fresh, young and fruity (lot's of red cherries and red fruits!). An expressive port with great character. Ruby keeps well for several years, although the wine will not improve with age. No decanting is necessary since the wine contains no sediment.

The Junior Tinto undergoes an early filling, and spends the rest of its time in the bottle, where it is protected against outside influences. Through this, its youthfulness, dark colour, freshness and dark fruit aromas and flavours are optimally maintained. With its concentrated tannins, this is a full-bodied wine. Fine aroma of intense dark plums and blackberries with a hint of chocolate. Exhibits good freshness with well integrated dark fruits on the palate. The Senior Tawny, however, spends most of its time ageing in barrels. Through the pores of the wood its contact with air is soft and light, which results in a slow oxidation process over the years. This is an elegant port with a subtle expression - a light colour and a range of flavours and aromas that are based on red fruit tones. Brick red tawny appearance. A velvety mouth feel with a fine blend of old wines giving richness balanced with younger wines giving freshness and complexity. The Junior Tinto goes well with cheese (ripe and soft, hard as well as blue), and fits wonderfully with every kind of chocolate. It even makes a superb match with - no kidding - pepper steak. The Senior Tawny can reveal itself ideally with a range of mothwatering delights, including dried fruits, apple cake, creme caramel and paté. Informações Técnicas Product. Junior Tinto Soil type.

Taken from Ports made in the 2005 harvest, this Late Bottled Vintage however has extended cask maturation making it drinkable at a younger age, yet retaining the essence of its superior sibling. The grapes for Niepoort 2005 LBV came from selected parcels of vineyards in the Cima Corgo region of the Douro valley. The grapes were trodden in lagares and later the port was matured in large wooden vats at our lodges in Gaia. At Niepoort the tradition is to bottle the LBV s four years after the harvest: Dirk tries to bottle it as soon as we can in order to retain the fruit and freshness of the LBV. Brilliant red colour with a wonderful aroma of dark fruits and a classy touch of chocolate. On the palate sweet grainy seductive tannins give the wine a superb elegance and interact well with the fruit and fine spirity finish. The wine can be enjoyed now, and will become more complex with further cellaring for a couple of decades. To fully benefit from its qualities we recommend it be decanted before serving.

Once again, at Niepoort, we believe that we managed to produce a Vintage Port to last for decades After several dry winters, the 2006/2007 winter was most useful in replenishing dwindling water reserves. In 2007 the harvest initiated at Niepoort s historic winery in Vale de Mendiz on Friday 14th of September. Apart from a brief thunderstorm on the 16th of September and the odd light shower at the end of the month, the harvest was carried out under excellent conditions. Fermenting musts exhibited dark colours with spectacular purple hues and very good acid balance. The Niepoort 2007 has benefited from a second winter to further close up its dense purple colour. On the aroma dark fruits are wonderfully contrasted with slighty green nuances and great finesse. On the palate, medium sweet, which combines well, with a very tight structure. The taste exhibits a firm tannins and length but with great finesse in evidence. Product. Niepoort Vintage Port 2007 Produced. Niepoort (Vinhos) S.A. Year. 2007 Vineyards.

Furthermore, the handling of the wine prior to bottling in a less reductive way attempts to return to the days when Vintage ports were shipped in pipe to northern Europe and then bottled at the end of the second year or even in the third year following the harvest, in contrast to the current practice of bottling after a year and a half. Once again, at Niepoort, we believe that in a world of uniformity we have managed to produce a Vintage port with a difference with a return to some of the small technical details from a bygone era After several dry winters, the 2006/2007 winter was most useful in replenishing dwindling water reserves. In 2007 the first parcels of Pisca were picked on 20th September and fermented at Niepoort s historic winery in Vale de Mendiz. All vinification was carried out in lagares with 100% stems. Fermenting musts exhibited very dark colours with spectacular purple hues and wonderful acid balance. Dense in colour with a wonderfully fresh green aroma with a hint of dark chocolate dominating along with subtle aromas of dark fruits.

Colheita 1998 Niepoort Wine Colheita 1998 Colheita Ports are Tawny Ports from a single harvest aged in wood for at least seven years before being bottled. The Colheita Port is wonderful on its own at the end of a meal or on a cold winter afternoon in front of an open fireplace. Brick red colour with some orange/brown hues and solid depth of colour. Delightful vinous aroma, well integrated with aroma of dried fruits. On the palate, shows great freshness along with subdued dried apricots and figs, leading to a lengthy spirity finish. Following on from the exceptional wines made in 1997, the 1998 Colheita shows great character, fruit and concentration following a warm summer and exceptionally hot August.The wine comprising the 1998 Colheita was aged in our cool cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia in small old oak casks under the watchful eye of Niepoort Master Blender José Nogueira.

The Colheita Port is wonderful on its own at the end of a meal or on a cold winter afternoon in front of an open fire. Wonderful brick red/brown colour. Delightful vinous aroma, well integrated with dried fruits aromas. A unique flavour reminiscent of dried prunes and apricots on the palate, leading to an elegant spirity finish. Although initially rather overshadowed by 2000, some fabulous parcels of wine, which were put aside following the harvest, have developed, with time, into very elegant and appealing wines from which the Colheita 2001 was made. The grapes were trodden in lagares and later the port was matured in small old oak casks at our lodge in Gaia until 2010. The extended ageing in small old oak casks imparts a wonderful brick red / brown appearance in the wine with great concentration and a unique flavour. Product. Colheita 2001 Region.
