Niepoortland twins: Ruby Dum and Tawny Dee. identical sibling born in Douro. With time, Ruby Dum retains its youthful, strong character, dominated by red cherries and plums with great freshness from ageing in large wooden vats in the cool cellar of Vila Nova de Gaia. With time, Tawny Dee acquires great wisdom and subtleness through ageing in small oak casks exhibiting discrete characters of dried stone fruits.

Niepoort Tawny Dee, with an average age of three and a half years, originates from low yielding vineyards in the Cima Corgo region of the Douro Valley. The grapes are predominantly trodden in Lagares, prior to ageing in small old oak casks at the lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia.

Brick red/tawny in colour, with delicate nutty aromas and a hint of dried fruits. On the palate, very well balanced with a youthful fruity, luscious character, which integrates well with a long finish.

Nuts and nut-based desserts (pecan pie, fruitcake, hazelnut torte), fruit based tarts (apple pie), and burnt sugar preparations (creme brulee, creme caramel). Non-blue cheeses (Manchego, smoked Gouda, Gruyere).
