2019 Niepoort Robustus red

This iconic Niepoort red has a complex, attractive and refined bouquet, where delicate floral notes of violet intertwine with dark fruits, with a lively touch of fresh herbs, graphite nuances that add minerality and a touch of vanilla that gives some sweetness, complemented by spices. The structured, complex palate reveals hints of spice that enhance the depth of flavour, leading to a long, round finish that lingers gracefully on the palate, leaving a lasting impression.

On the Portuguese wine scene, there is no more consensual producer than Niepoort, and the long history begins in 1842 with the first Van Der Niepoort arriving in Portugal.

As he started in the Port Wine market as a merchant, he quickly set up his business which would prove to be prosperous and future-proof.

Thus, in the 5th generation, Dirk Niepoort was born, an unavoidable producer in the world of wines, recognised as one of the most important characters who worked, and still works, on behalf of Portuguese wine. He has worked with several dozen producers, helped them to improve their wines and understand their vineyards, while also preparing his legacy with those who are always creating irreverent wines. Nowadays, Dirk Niepoort collaborates on many other projects, in practically all national wine regions and some foreign ones.
