Niepoort Vertente Tinto

Description

“Niepoort Vertente demands a certain respect – born from vines that have been weaving across the Douro’s steepest terroirs for over 80 years. It masterfully balances the region’s concentrated character with a refreshing vibrancy, a hallmark of the Niepoort house. Expect notes of black pepper and red fruit, leading to a remarkably firm and structured mouthfeel, underpinned by elegant tannins and a distinctly Douro acidity. Dirk Niepoort insists on a wine that defies convention, offering a truly rewarding experience for discerning palates, and promising a lifespan worthy of a legacy stretching back to 1842. We’d recommend pairing it with a hearty beef roast – it certainly won’t be intimidated!”
