Niepoort Turris Tinto

Description

Dirk Niepoort clearly isn’t just making wine; he’s conjuring memories with this Turris. Born from a vineyard dating back over 130 years in the Cima Corgo, this deep ruby red wine is a nostalgic hug from the Van Der Niepoort family, who began their Portuguese venture in 1842. Remarkably, the German oak “pigeaux” – brought in from the Mosel – seem to play a significant role, whether to inject a touch of modernity or simply make Dirk Niepoort feel more at home. Expect aromas of wild berries, herbs, and a hint of graphite, a true testament to patience and respect for the land – and those German oaks. It’s a “chewable” wine with incredible length, and with the Niepoort legacy, it’s almost like drinking a piece of Port history.
