About The Wine

Colheita Ports come from a single vintage and are aged in 550 L old barrels for a minimum period of 7 years prior to bottling. This wine is a delicious way to end off a meal and also matches very well with desserts, dried fruit or as an aperitif served with foie gras. Francisca, Tinta Amarela, Sousão, Tinta Roriz and other varieties. It is vinified by the Niepoort winery.

Niepoort is a Portuguese winery that was founded in 1842. It is currently run by Dirk Niepoort, the fifth generation of the family that gives it its name. They practice traditional Portuguese techniques such as treading the grapes, fermentation in cement tanks or aging in pipes, 550-litre port aging barrels, and at the same time they have new technologies that allow them to work the grapes with great care. They have vineyards in different locations, some more than 100 years old, and they have their aging winery in the town of Vila Nova de Gaia.

The Niepoort Colheita vineyards have an average age of over 60 years. The soils of the plots are mainly shale and the vines are driven in Guyot and Cordón Royat. They are harvested manually to fully respect the integrity of the grapes.

Once in the winery, the Niepoort Colheita ferments in winepresses and the typical Portuguese treading is carried out to help extract colour, aromas and structure from the grapes. Next, when there are about one hundred grams liter of residual sugars left in the must-wine, it is headed and aged in 550-liter pipes for at least 10 years.

Niepoort Colheita is a fresh, fruity Port and has an elegant and long finish.

Niepoort Colheita 2012 is a generous wine that on the nose offers aromas reminiscent of ripe fruits such as plums, raisins and figs, accompanied by subtle spicy nuances. In the mouth it is deep and balanced, with an acidity that surprises and provides freshness. A wine with velvety tannins that leaves a pleasant and persistent flavor on the palate. Exquisite and captivating.

Martha Says...

“Fabulous white port. Chocolate and spices.”
