Vinification

Niepoort states: 'After a couple of dry winters, the Douro region experienced a wet winter in the lead up to 2013, which was most welcome as it restored water reserves. The spring and summer were relatively cool, with an absence of rain until the beginning of September which brought a few showers, allowing the grapes to ripen fully. Luckily, the majority of the fruit was picked before the rain set in at the end of September! Harvest took place during the month of September and after careful selection on the sorting table, the crushed grapes and stems were directly transferred to granite lagares where they were foot-stomped prior to fortification.'

Niepoort

    
Niepoort ports are a Dutch family established in Portugal since the 18th Century and producing quality rather than quantity. Niepoort has been described as “the Rolls Royce of Port”.
  
My first experience with Niepoort goes back to 1975, when armed with courage and conviction, I met in Oporto about 10 different potential suppliers and Niepoort was my lucky choice. Rolf the father and then Dirk carried on supplying Hourlier Wines with constant high standards. This is our only non French product. Non je ne regrette rien!
