The Luxurious Depth of Niepoort's Flagship Red

Fulfilling a dream of Dirk Niepoort, Turris is a wine made from an old vineyard, over 130 years old, facing south, in Cima Corgo, Douro. 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.

A blend of traditional Douro grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and others.

After meticulous sorting, alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, with approximately 20% whole bunches. We let the juice macerate for 1 month so that we could carefully extract the full potential of the vineyard. The wine matured in over 60-year-old foudre barrels.

Tasting Note: An intense ruby red hue. On the nose, aromas of fruits of the forest, herbs, spices and some floral hints mingle with touches of graphite, lending this red wine the complexity typical of the Douro Valley’s schist soils. The palate offers Niepoort’s signature elegant backbone, acidity and freshness. A long finish lingers in the mouth with hints of mint.

Origin: Douro Valley, Portugal

Blend: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, & others.

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.
