About Niepoort 10 Years Old Tawny

Niepoort 10 Years Old Tawny is a port wine coupage of the Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Francisca, Tinta Amarela, Sousão and Tinta Roriz varieties. It is made by the legendary Portuguese winery Niepoort.

Niepoort is a Portuguese winery that was founded in 1842. It is currently run by Dirk Niepoort, fifth generation of the family it is named after. They use traditional Portuguese techniques such as grape treading, fermentation in cement tanks or aging in pipes, 550-litre port-aging barrels, whilst also using new technologies that ensure the grapes are handled with care. The winery has vines in different locations, some of which are over 100 years old, and an aging cellar in the town of Vila Nova de Gaia.

The Niepoort 10 Years Old Tawny vines have an average age of over 60 years old. The strains are planted in shale soils and are trained using the Guyot and Cordón de Royat methods. Planting density is between 4,000 and 6,000 plants per hectare and they are harvested by hand to keep the grapes as intact as possible until they reach the winery.

Once in the winery, the Niepoort 10 Years Old Tawny ferments in typical presses with traditional treading periodically carried out to extract the maximum colour, aromas and structure of the grapes. Finally, before alcoholic fermentation finishes and there are about 100 grams per litre of sugars left, wine alcohol is added and it ages in the typical 550-litre oak barrels for about 10 years.

Niepoort 10 Years Old Tawny is a complex and pleasant port that perfectly combines aromas, alcohol and sweetness.
