Niepoort 10 Years Old Tawny NV

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThis 10 year old Tawny Port is a blend of numerous wines averaging 10 years in age. This comes from vines over 30 years from the schist soils of Vinha da Pisca, Vale do Pinhão, and Ferrão, and blends Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Francisca, Tinta Amarela, Sousão, Tinta Roriz and others. It was foot-trodden and fermented in lagares before ageing in small oak casks. Caramelized orange, bitter citrus marmelade, butterscotch roll along the sweet palate, with spirited citrus and a mint twist on the finish. Dryer than your typical 10 Year Tawny, this is still shining and ready for drinking now.Tasted: 12 December 2023Tasted by: Prices:
