Porto Niepoort TAWNY Port 0,375l.

Niepoort Tawny, is a great starting point to enter into the magical world of tawny ports. A relatively young wine blended from several years with wonderful freshness and elegance acquired from gentle ageing in small old oak casks. A versatile wine, which can go just as well with chocolate based desserts or with a hearty Stilton Cheese at the end of a meal. It can as well go, lightly chilled as an aperitif, before a meal.

Tasting Notes: Brick red / tawny in colour, with delicate nutty aromas and a hint of dried fruits. On the palate, very well balanced with a youthful fruity, luscious character, which integrates well with a long spirity finish.

Vinification: Niepoort tawny, with an average age of three and a half years, originates from low yielding vineyards in the Cima corgo region of the Douro Valley. The grapes are predominantly trodden in lagares, prior to ageing in small old oak casks at our lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia.

To produce a fine balance and flavour Niepoort Tawny ages in oak casks for 3,5 years.  Freshness, lightness and balance are the key elements of this wine. A Port easy to drink on any occasion. Tawny has a shiny bright colour and soft and sweet tannins. 

Tawny port keeps well for several years, although the wine will not improve with age.
It contains no sediment and need not be decanted.
