Niepoort Description
Niepoort is one of the great Port houses and is now in its sixth generation of tradition and innovation. Fifth-generation owner Dirk Niepoort has paved the way for the production of dry wine in Port, and has been instrumental in elevating its status. Always interested in pushing the boundaries of what the Port wine industry looks like, Dirk, now joined by his son, Daniel, has acquired access to fruit throughout Portugal. Sustainable and organic work in the vineyard and cellar is always prioritized. Working with properties from the north to the south, Niepoort can be counted on to provide fortified and table wines that celebrate all that Portugal has to offer.
Vines come from low-yielding vineyards in the Cima Corgo region: Vinha da Pisca, Vale do Pinhão and Ferrão, with a vine age in excess of 60 years.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
They think the NV 20 Year Old Tawny Port is perfect for their style, which is not too oxidative and not very volatile, the profile of much older wines, and they have a balance between youth and age, fruit and nuts. This has a lot of complexity and some liqueur notes, mixing the best of both worlds. It's intense, powerful and elegant, nuanced and complex, with a velvety palate, volume and density. It's long and tasty, with a lifted finish. Superb. Many people think these wines don't age in bottle, but I love it with the same time in bottle as in wood (20+20 year!).
