‘Shaded to ruby. Very rich and broad – much 'smudgier' and 'warmer' than the sharper vintage ports of most houses. Hint of fudge. Tannins almost imperceptible with notes of macerated raisins. Thoroughly warming and approachable. 2020-2035’ – Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20
‘Fine, elegant, mineral but not balsamic, the floral and fruity character are enhanced. The taste continues fine, although it's a tannic wine. Rich but not excessive and with a long spicy aftertaste. Impressive finesse even though robust.’ – Winemaker

| Producer information | The Niepoort family has been creating Port Wines since 1842. Dirk Niepoort, fifth generation, is the head of the business after his father, Rolf’s retirement in 2005. Dirk is a pioneer of table wines in Portugal and, as with all Dirk’s projects around the world, his focus is on traditionally made wines that offer elegance while showcasing terroir. Dirk ‘helped transform the region and the way the world thinks about wine’ says Wine & Spirits Magazine about Dirk and his role in the Douro. His wines transcend the extreme heat of the Douro and display great freshness and elegance. |
