2005 Niepoort Vintage
Colheita Ports are Tawny Ports from a single harvest aged in wood for at least seven years before being bottled. Colheita Port is wonderful on its own at the end of a meal or on a cold winter afternoon in front of an open fire.
The grapes were trodden in "lagares" at Vale de Mendiz and later the Port was matured in small old oak casks at the lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia.
Niepoort Colheitas are bottled with at least 10 years of ageing in small old oak casks; but since the Colheita 2005 was showing so well in early 2013, it was decided to start bottling it earlier so as to capture the wonderful freshness and personality in the wine.
Tasting Note: Superb brick red/brown appearance with medium depth of colour. Very clean fresh aroma with a subdued spicy character and a hint of dried fruits. Refreshing seductive flavours on the palate with dried fruits and a lingering nutty velvety finish on the palate.
Origin: Douro Valley, Portugal
Blend: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Francisca, Tinta Amarela, Sousão, Tinta Roriz
