Porto Tawny Niepoort 1997
About the Producer Niepoort
Recognised across the world for his Port, Dirk Niepoort manages this 62-hectare domain in the sumptuous Douro domain. Once he took over the family domain in 1987, Niepoort set himself the great challenge of growing his own vines, whilst his family had always bought grapes from elsewhere. This was a success: his dry wines are now as sought-after as his Port. Why? They are especially classy, with a surprising finesse for the region.
