This wine is still to be bottled and as such the advertised ABV maybe be subject to change on its eventual arrival and inspection into the U.K.

Only used barrels and stainless steel, this opens with a gorgeous nose of great purity and precision, a mix of brambles and crisp black fruits ? amidst an open, speckled Douro fragrance and some lovely cassis notes. Super depth on the palate, more of that spicy perfume, dark flowers, raspberry, and a crisp tannic bite reminiscent of Cabernet Franc. Lovely balance, delicious! 0-5 years.

Niepoort

An independent family business since 1842...sounds familiar! Today it is very ably run by Eduard Dirk Niepoort (known as Dirk), the fifth generation of the family. Dirk took charge in 2005 having worked alongside his father, Rolf, since 1987.

During this time they purchased their first vineyards: Quinta de Nápoles, the site of their brand new state of the art winery, and Quinta do Carril in the Cima Corgo region considered the prime area for port production. Some of the vineyards were replanted and are now 20 years old, and others were retained which are now between 60 and 80 years old. Dirk has been selling table wine since the 1999 vintage and is widely considered to be one of the best producers in the Douro. The Niepoort dynasty appears in safe hands, as Dirks eldest son Daniel joined the business in 2020 and has since been joined by brother Marco and sister Ana.

About En Primeur

Lying Abroad/En Primeur/In Bond Wines

Wines offered ‘Lying Abroad’ or ‘En Primeur’ provide a good way to secure some of the most sought after wines at opening prices. In addition we ensure it is the cheapest way to buy favourite mid-priced wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhône, so please ask us for our offers or check our website for latest reports. Prices are clearly marked in our sales literature and are exclusive of duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT. Shipment of claret and Port normally takes place around 30 months after the vintage, burgundy and Rhône usually more quickly. A second invoice for the duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT on the value of the wine is charged at the time of shipment - view current duty rates. There are no further charges for deliveries to a UK mainland home or work address. Your Lying Abroad purchases are covered under The Bunch Code of Practice which can be sent on request or viewed here.
