Learn More About This Wine

Tawnies with an indication of age such as “30 years” are blended from different wines averaging 30 years. Niepoort produces 10, 20 and 30 year old Tawny. The prolonged ageing in small wooden casks confers the characteristic Tawny colour. The main features of an aged Tawny are the complexity of aromas, persistence and refinement. The Tawnies are aged in small oak casks (550litres), in the cellars at Vila Nova de Gaia, over many years. The balanced marriage of the different characteristics and diverse ages is the art of the Niepoort Master Blender, José Nogueira.

Deep brazen colour with a brown rim and a touch of green – very characteristics in older Tawny Ports. On the nose, a wine from another era, but very much alive with a fabulous concentration of coffee and liqueur and some volatility.

After dinner, old Tawny is a good match with cheeses and especially chocolate based desserts. It can also be drunk as an aperitif, served at room temperature or slightly chilled.
