Niepoort Vertente 2019 Magnum 150cl

Tasting Note

Pretty, soft fruit, nice balance of cherries and loads of blackberries. The palate is really elegant, nice dusty notes. A lovely easy, approachable style of wine. Good structure. A bundle of cherry stone, damson skin. Really lovely and would be great with grilled pork or creamy pasta dishes.

Producer

Niepoort has been an independent family business since its creation in 1842. Today it isled by the fifth generation, Dirk Niepoort, supported by his sons Daniel and Marco. Dirk has been a relentless innovator and creative throughout his time at Niepoort. One of his early priorities was to purchase parcels of old, steep (and often north facing) vineyards in the Douro to give greater control over supply. Quinta de Napoles was purchased in 1987 with thirty hectares and Quinta do Carril followed in 1988 with nine hectares. Niepoort now own over eighty hectares of vineyards in the Douro, all farmed organically.
