Dirk Niepoort and his family have been making wine in the Douro Valley since 1842. This wine originates from low yielding old vineyards in the Cima Corgo region of Douro Valley. The grapes are predominantly trodden in Lagares, prior to ageing in large wooden vats at the maker's lodges in Gaia and bottled with an average age of 3 years.
The wine is dark red in colour, with a fresh vibrant aroma of dark fruits, which follows through on the palate along with an almost mineral character. A youthful wine with good extract and great balance, offering superb "drinkability".
Ready to drink now, after a meal on its own or with soft cheeses. It pairs particularly well with Camembert, St. Jude and Little Rollright.
