Product Description
Additional Information
Winemaker
The year 2008 was excellent for the Douro wine region. Tannins are present, yet fine and elegant, and the aroma is very rich and intense, but never excessive. It carries a lot of concentration from old vineyards in the Douro River valley, yet the wine remains fresh and elegant.
With its intense and deep color, the wine boasts a highly complex aroma featuring earthy mineral character, black fruit, and spicy notes of black and green pepper. A precisely crafted wine, subtly blending intense fruity flavors with impressive freshness. It possesses a well-defined and alluring tannic structure, all tied together with a long, lingering finish.

Niepoort
Niepoort is to Vintage Port what Krug is to Champagne. They are both small houses in a world dominated by large competitors, but they are producing outstanding wines that very few can match." James Suckling (Senior editor at Wine Spectator magazine) The cellar is owned by the fifth consecutive Niepoort generation since its founding in Villa Nova de Gaia in 1842. It was always recognised by their excellent 10 years old tawnies. The grapes for the wines come from estate-owned vineyards in Pinhào, the very heart of one of the best wine growing regions in Portugal.
