Niepoort 30 Years

145.00 VAT incl.

Very old port. Deep brown color, with a brown edge and a hint of green – very characteristic of old tawny ports. On the nose, a wine from another era, but very lively, with a fabulous concentration of coffee and liqueur, which emerges on the palate with an end of great spirit.

Vinification:

Tawnies with an age indication such as “20 years” are blended from different wines with an average age of 20 years. Prolonged aging in small wooden barrels gives it the characteristic Tawny color. The main characteristics of an aged tawny are the complexity of the aromas, the freshness and a persistent bouquet and refinement. After dinner, old tawny goes well with cheeses and especially chocolate-based desserts. It can also be drunk as an aperitif, served at room temperature or slightly chilled. Niepoort produces Tawny aged 10, 20 and 30. The skillful aging and blending of the different tawny ports is the art of the master blender José Nogueira. Vinification: The tawnies are aged in small old oak barrels (550 l) in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia for many years. The balanced marriage of different characteristics and different ages is the art of Niepoort’s master blender, José Nogueira.
