A rare dry white Port with long maceration: nuts, almonds and velvet.
Tasting note
Golden brown, with a delicious aroma of nuts and almonds. Fresh, full-bodied and velvety, with a long, flavoursome, concentrated finish thanks to the long ageing.
The story
This dry white Port is a rare style, made with long skin maceration and 3.5 years of ageing in small old oak casks.
Food pairing
Chilled as an aperitif and to enjoy all evening, with nibbles and salads. A delicious choice for a Port and tonic, with a slice of lemon, ice and tonic.
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.
