Elaborated by Niepoort Vinhos, a small independent family business since 1842 and is currently led by Dirk Niepoort, the fifth generation of the Niepoort family.  

Production: 

It is produced in one of Portugal's most promising wine regions, the Cima Corgo region of the Douro Valley, which has low yielding vineyards and vines that are over 30 years old on average.

The grapes are hand-picked and trodden in lagares. Aged in small, old oak casks for 3.5 years.

This is a port wine with fine and balanced flavors. It has a shiny bright color with a fruity character and delicate nutty aromas and a hint of dried fruits. It has a medium to light style with a freshness that makes for very easy drinking on any occasion. 

Notes:

Ready to drink now, after a meal, on its own, or with soft cheeses.

It keeps well for several years, although it will not improve with age. It contains no sediment and does not need to be decanted.
