Niepoort Colheita Tawny Port 2010
Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalColheita Ports are Tawnies which come from a single vintage, and are aged in 550L and 600L old barrels for a minimum period of 7 years prior to bottling. Niepoort ages theirs for more than that however, bottling this in October 2022. From 60+ year old Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Francisca, Tinta Amarela, Sousão, Tinta Roriz, and others, sourced from the schistous vineyards of Vale do Pinhão and Ferrão, this amber-hued tawny still carries a bit of the fiery spirit of youth, with a potent orange oil, treacle, marmalade, lime peel thread throughout the sweet, sultry and baking spiced palate. Caramelized roasted nuts finish this lingering palate. Quite primary still, and one to enjoy with sweet nutty desserts.Tasted: 12 December 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $56.95 | 750ml | LCBO |
