Niepoort, D.O.C. Douro
Niepoort has been an independent family business since 1842, and is today headed by fith generation, Dirk Niepoort. Dirk's passion for wines and his humble respect and curiosity for the Douro terroir has re-defined the Niepoort team spirit.
The business has gone through a process of modernisation over the last two decades. The first important step in this process was the acquisition of their own vineyards: Quinta de Nápoles and Quinta do Carril in Cima Corgo.

Dirk Niepoort's passion for wines and his humble respect and curiosity for the Douro terroir has re-defined the Niepoort team spirit. 'Tiara' is a blend of 5 white varieties, based on 100 y.o. Codega vines grown at 600-800m. A clean, thrilling style with citric fleshy mid-palate, a touch of bitter herb and exceptional finesse. |

Based on Rabigato and Codega, grown at 400-800m. Full texture, crisp acidity, finesse, beautifully delineated finish. Barrel ferment, lees aged for 8 months. Smoky mineral tang of Douro schist-typicity fiercely held onto. |

Both ripe and fresh/mineral, with concentration and complexity. As with the Redoma standard, it’s rich pear with apple, sour herb, goodlevels of florality and spice, very clean and mineral at the back, long, mild and never more than mid-weight. A wonderful argument for the absence of malo from ‘Burgundian’-styled wines. |
