Niepoort 20 Year Old Tawny
Learn More About This Wine
Tawnies with an indication of age such as “20 years” are blended from different wines averaging 20 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, the freshness persistence and refinement.
The Tawnies are aged in small old 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 Niepoort Master Blender, José Nogueira.
Brick red/brown appearance with orange hues. Fabulous aromas of crystalised fruit and dried apricot, a smooth well integrated nutty character on the finish.
Serve with dried fruits, nuts, almonds, raisins, peaches, apricots, etc. Desserts based on eggs, pies with dry fruits, coffee, vanilla.
