James Suckling, tasting note published in May 27th 2015

Tawny in colour, with aromas of dried apricots and candied tangerine peel well integrated with a nutty character. "The palate reveals dried fruits with a spirited fire finish. With a great structure and a long finish. This offers incredible aromas of orange peel and lemon, with notes of caramel, toffee and honey. Full-bodied and tasty, with lots of sweet fruit and a long, subtle finish that keeps going. This is really the benchmark for 10 year old tawnies

Niepoort

Tawnies with an age indication as “20 years” are blended from different wines with an average age of 20 years. Prolonged ageing in small wooden barrels gives the characteristic Tawny colour. The main characteristics of an aged tawny are complex aromas, freshness and a persistent bouquet and finesse. After dinner, aged tawny goes well with cheeses and especially chocolate-based desserts. It can also be drunk as an aperitif, served at room temperature or lightly chilled. Niepoort produces Tawny aged 10, 20 and 30 years. The skilful ageing and blending of the different tawny ports is the art of master blender José Nogueira. Vinification: The tawnies are aged in small old oak barrels (550 l) in the cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia over many years. The balanced marriage of different characteristics and diverse ages is the art of Niepoort’s master blender, José Nogueira.

Niepoort Vinhos

The Niepoort family has been creating Port Wines since 1842. The first property in Douro was bought in 1987 and Dirk Niepoort started a new Era in the company with the creation of the first Redoma red in 1991. In the last years Niepoort took on the great challenge of interpreting other soils and climates and acquired two properties in other regions, Dão and Bairrada. Discover the Niepoort Triangle which express the different terroirs: Schist (Douro), Limestone (Bairrada) and Granite (Dão).
