Niepoort Ruby Port

Learn More About This Wine

At Niepoort they believe that the colour of the Port should be inspired by the “ruby stone”. Niepoort Ruby is fresh, young and fruity. An expressive Port with great character. Ruby keeps well for several years after bottling, although the wine will not improve with age. No decanting is necessary since the wine contains no sediment. 

The wine comes from low yielding old vineyards in the Cima Corgo of the Douro Valley. The grapes are predominantly trodden in lagares, prior to ageing in large wooden vats at the lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia and bottled with an average age of three years. 

Dark red in colour, with a fresh vibrant aroma of dark fruits which follows through on the palate along with a mineral character, a youthful wine with good extract and great balance, offering superb “drinkability”.
