Niepoort Port Tawny The Senior

€ 17.50

Brick red in color, typical for a premium Tawny port; this wood-aged port has a silky soft taste, wonderfully matured with harmonious scents of nuts, caramel and coffee. Elegant finish

Innovation, diversification, breaking taboos and preserving the tradition are Niepoort's philosophy of the past decades. In addition to the new design of the Senior Tawny, in which the bottle has been made in a more traditional format. The mustache emphasizes seniority. The Senior Tawny spends most of its time in small barrels in the Niepoort cellars located in Vila Nova de Gaia. The contact of the wine with air, through the pores of the wooden barrels, favors a slow oxidation process over the years. The wines come from low yield vineyards in the Cima Corgo
