The van der Niepoort family are an iconic ‘legacy’ producer in Portugal dating back to 1842. Lesser-known than the big Port houses, in our view they are massively under-rated as a smaller, more precise winery and have a strong link with not just Port but also brilliant dry/table wines from all over Portugal.
1997 is regarded as the greatest modern vintage port that Niepoort has produced. It is showing a black colour and intense aromas of crushed berries, fruits of the firest and wet earth, with an alpine grip on the pallet. It is full-bodied and mouth puckering, this young muscle car of a Port has loads of fruit and powerful tannins. Amazingly long finish.
