1.50 l, Item no. 13383

Since 1842 the Niepoort reserves have rested in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia. In the late 19th century the family bought around 4,000 glass demijohns from a glassworks in Oldenburg, and the legendary Garrafeiras still mature in them today. The 1.5-litre bottle takes its shape from those demijohns. The grapes come from low-yielding vineyards in the Cima Corgo, foot-trodden in the lagares of Vale de Mendiz. Then twenty years in 550-litre pipas, first bottling in April 2023. Brick red with an orange rim, the nose offers cherry, apricot, orange peel, caramel and spice over gentle smoke.

“We shouldn’t just be talking about port; we need to be talking about the Douro.” This statement says quite a lot about Dirk van der Niepoort. He runs one of Portugal’s most traditional port houses and is also one of the people who have contributed most significantly to freeing the Douro from its sole focus on port.
