Turris Tinto is a flagship red wine from Niepoort, named after the Latin word for tower, reflecting the winery's commitment to crafting wines of strength and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA blend of traditional Douro grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and others. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, with 25% of the stalks. The must remained in contact with the cap for 5 weeks, which allowed for a very gentle maceration and kept extraction under control. The “Turris” was matured for 20 months in two 1000-litre German Fuder barrels, both more than 60 years old. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered in June 2015.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Note: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhile its youthful and intense colour is slightly lighter than that of the 2012 vintage, this wine offers deep aromas, great complexity and a crystalline minerality. It impresses with its purity and finesse, delighting with fresh red berry notes as well as hints of spice. On the palate, the wine is fresh and velvety, vibrating with tension. The balance between its minerality and tannin structure results in an incomparable complexity and elegance, culminating in its lasting, elegant and expressive finish. It is “chewy” without being heavy – a wine that takes us on a journey to a bygone era.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin: \u003c\/b\u003eDouro Valley, Portugal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlend: \u003c\/b\u003eTouriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, \u0026amp; others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Niepoort","offers":[{"title":"75cl","offer_id":57253104812410,"sku":null,"price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/7229\/0498\/files\/NiepoortTurris.png?v=1789040983","url":"https:\/\/caviste.co.uk\/products\/museum-release-2013-niepoort-turris-tinto","provider":"Caviste Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
