Producer

The Niepoort vineyards stretch across the steep slopes of the Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The vines, often centuries old, are planted on terraces (socalcos) in the schist soils typical of the region. climat The climate is Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. These climatic conditions, combined with the soil type, give the grapes exceptional concentration and aromatic complexity. Further details on the terroir are not available.

Owner and history

Vinification and aging

The Niepoort Vintage Port 2015 is made according to time-honored traditions. The grapes are foot-trodden in lagares (stone vats) to gently extract aromas and tannins. Fermentation is halted by the addition of grape brandy, preserving some of the grapes' natural sugars. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for an undisclosed period, developing its complexity and finesse. This aging process is crucial for refining the tannins and harmonizing the flavors.

The team's opinion

A Vintage Port of exceptional depth, a true invitation to discovery and contemplation.
