This wine is produced from the Carril vineyard, over 70 years old, and old vines of around 100 years of age, located in the Douro region, known for its unique geography and schist soils. The 2019 harvest was marked by favourable weather conditions, with a mild summer that encouraged a slow and balanced ripening of the grapes. The blend includes the grape varieties Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Rufete and Malvazia Preta, carefully selected to create a robust wine, with aromas that unfold in layers of wild berries and floral touches, combined with notes of graphite. The result is a wine with concentrated colour, where violet hints stand out when the glass is swirled.

The finish is long and spicy, offering a memorable tasting experience. To best appreciate this wine, decanting one hour before serving is recommended, which helps release its bouquet and the complexity of its flavours. It pairs well with a variety of dishes, from meats to fish such as monkfish and roasted octopus. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans, the Niepoort Batuta Vinho Tinto Douro 0.75 will age with class, promising interesting development in the coming years.
