About The Wine

Niepoort 10 Years Old Tawny preserves all the essence of a Port that has aged for a decade in small wooden barrels. The main characteristics of this reddish Port are the complexity of aromas, freshness and a persistent and refined bouquet. On the palate, an explosion of aromas of orange, lemon, notes of caramel and even honey. This Port is the result of the blending of different wines with an average age of 10 years.

It is a blend of different wines from low-yield vineyards with an average age of over 60 years located in the Vinha da Pisca/Vale do Pinhão/Ferrão region of the Douro Valley, considered one of the most promising wine regions in Portugal.

The grapes are harvested manually, the grapes are trodden by foot in Lagares, and it ages
in the cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia, in small 550-litre wooden vats for 10 years.

The NV 10 Year Old Tawny Port was bottled in 2015 with a long cork. This is a lovely 10 Year Tawny, elegant in the mid-palate, but complex, precise and focused. There’s a bit of a bite on the finish, giving it some length to go with the flavor. The next day it was more about power, with considerable intensity of old-tawny flavor as well, more than I normally see in a 10 Year Old. This is a fine one for the category.

 

Martha Says...

“Chocolate, caramel and vanilla! Excellent quality vs price.”

Food Match

Excellent with cheeses and chocolate desserts, also perfect as an aperitif, served at room temperature or slightly chilled.
