Tiara is a supremely elegant white from 40–100-year-old vines on granite soils at 600m. Its understated perfume and tensile acidity make it a portrait of Douro’s high-elevation purity.
Niepoort’s team selects grapes from granite-based, high-altitude plots. Fermented and aged in large foudres, Tiara showcases the region’s cooling breezes and the age-old vitality of old-vine Rabigato and Cercial. Tiara’s charm is in its restraint and profile: granite freshness, herbal lift, and steely tension converge in a white of rare finesse and freshness in the Douro.
Winemaking: After gentle pressing and cold settling, spontaneous fermentation and malolactic conversion occur in foudres over 12 months, unlocking nuanced herbal and mineral notes.
Pairing Suggestions: Grilled prawns, sea scallops, herb-roasted chicken or fresh garden salad.
Tasting Note: Subtle white blossom and nettle aromas lead to zesty lime, wet stone minerality and a pure, driven finish.
