Brick red, tawny in colour, with delicate nutty aromas and a hint of dried fruits. On the palate, very well balanced with a youthful fruity, luscious character, which integrates well with a long spirity finish.
Niepoort Tawny, is a great starting point to enter into the magical world of tawny ports. A relatively young wine blended from several years with wonderful freshness and elegance acquired from gentle ageing in small old oak casks.
A versatile wine, which can go just as well with chocolate based desserts at the end of a meal, as it can, lightly chilled as an aperitif before a meal.
Vinification: Niepoort tawny, with an average age of three and a half years, originates from low yielding vineyards
in the Cima corgo region of the Douro Valley. The grapes are predominantly trodden in lagares, prior to ageing in small old oak casks at our lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia.
