A thirty-year-old tawny, full of coffee and liqueur.
Tasting note
Dark brown with a touch of green. A wine from another era, yet very lively, with a fantastic concentration of coffee and liqueur in the delicious finish.
Food pairing
A versatile Port with pâté, strong cheeses, foie gras and chocolate and fruit desserts. Lightly chilled, also as an aperitif.
The producer
Niepoort was founded in 1842 in Vila Nova de Gaia and has belonged to the Dutch Van der Niepoort family for five generations. For more than a century it was a Port shipper without vineyards of its own. That changed when Dirk Niepoort joined his father Rolf in 1987: that year the family bought Quinta de Nápoles on the Tedo, in the Cima Corgo, followed by Quinta do Carril in 1988.
With the first Redoma in 1991 Niepoort became one of the pioneers of unfortified Douro wine, and a new winery was completed at Quinta de Nápoles in 2007. Dirk Niepoort also works in Bairrada, the Dão, Vinho Verde and the Mosel, and his son Daniel joined him at the helm in 2020. The Ports age in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia.
