2020 Niepoort, Late Bottled Vintage Port - Half Bottle

Niepoort is a family-owned Port house that has operated in the Douro Valley since 1842, now managed by the sixth generation of the family. The grapes for this wine are grown in the Cima Corgo sub-region, where vines are planted in steep, terraced schist soils that define the local landscape. In the glass, the wine offers concentrated aromas of dark berries, figs, and dried plums, supported by a firm, structured palate with silky tannins and balancing acidity. The 2020 vintage was hot and dry, resulting in low yields and highly concentrated, intense fruit character. This half bottle is approachable now but has the structure to age well in the cellar, offering significant value for those looking to experience the house's traditional, unfiltered approach to the category.
