Welcome
Tasting Notes
A brick-red appearance with medium depth and a light orange rim. On the nose a slightly smoky/vanilla aroma from the very old seasoned pipes casks follows through with aromas of marmalade, raisins and dried apricots. Medium-bodied on the palate, with a mellow lengthy spirit-driven finish.

Vinification |
The 2008/2009 agricultural year was marked by low rainfall in the winter months, January was the month with the highest rainfall. While the average temperatures in general were similar to previous decades, however, the month of August was on average more than 2°C warmer even though the first eleven days of the month were relatively fresh compared to a normal year in the region. The 2009 harvest was not easy for Niepoort, with very high temperatures in August and September. The 2009 harvest allowed them to obtain Ports of great quality and complexity. |
