2011 Niepoort Vintage

£120.00

The 2011 vintage experienced lower winter rainfall and an unexpected March bloom, earlier than usual. However, sudden extreme heat in June caused some bunches, especially in early varieties like Tinta Barroca, to burn. Despite cooler months in July and August with some rain, the high temperatures in September required an accelerated harvest to prevent overripe grapes.

Tasting Note: The 2011 Niepoort Vintage boasts a rich, ruby hue that was undoubtedly enhanced by the severe winter. Aromas of luscious fruit are complemented by notes of spices and pepper. The palate is refreshing and refined, characterised by a robust structure, delicate tannins, and a lingering finish. This exceptional vintage from Niepoort is sure to be enjoyed for years to come.

Origin: Douro Valley, Portugal

Blend: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Francisca, Tinta Amarela, Sousão, Tinta Roriz

Niepoort

Experience the independent family business, passed successfully for five generations from one Niepoort to the next, with older and younger generations working side by side for a long period. We eagerly anticipate the sixth generation, ready for a future of close collaboration.

Dirk Niepoort, part of the fifth generation, leads the family business, following the retirement of his father, Eduard Rudolph Niepoort. Since his studies in Switzerland, Dirk has been passionate about wine and has brought innovation to the traditional Niepoort brand.

Niepoort strives to maintain its status as a "niche player" by crafting unique ports and Douro wines that blend centuries-old customs with modernity. This combination also encompasses wine from two other regions, the Bairrada and Dão, which have contributed to shaping the Douro - Bairrada - Dão triangle. The newest points in this triangle also "deliver the goods" and hold a significant place for Niepoort, as they possess immense potential by combining the rich heritage of Portugal's winemaking history with the potential for innovation.
