Niepoort Vintage (2005)

Learn More About This Wine

This vintage continues Niepoort’s tradition to create balanced Ports with great concentration but simultaneously fine and delicate that will last for decades. 

In 2005 the harvest had very hot and also very humid days. The production was high but with small berries that have concentrated the tannins and colour. Vinha da Pisca (very old vineyard) with notes of coffee and black berries gave the final blend the desired freshness. 

Fine, elegant, mineral but not balsamic, the floral and fruity character are enhanced. The taste continues fine, although it’s was a very tannic wine in youth. Rich but not excessive and with a long spicy aftertaste. Impressive finesse even though robust.
