This vintage continues Niepoorts tradition to create balanced ports with great concentrationwhile simultaneously fine and delicate. Once again, at Niepoort, we believe that we managed toproduce a Vintage Port to last for decades...VinificationAfter several dry winters, the 2006/2007 winter was most useful in replenishing dwindling waterreserves. In 2007 the harvest initiated at Niepoorts historic winery in Vale de Mendiz on Friday14th of September. Apart from a brief thunderstorm on the 16th of September and the odd lightshower at the end of the month, the harvest was carried out under excellent conditions.Fermenting musts exhibited dark colours with spectacular purple hues and very good acidbalance.Tasting NotesThe Niepoort 2007 has benefited from a second winter to further close up its dense purple colour.On the aroma dark fruits are wonderfully contrasted with slighty green nuances and great finesse.On the palate, medium sweet, which combines well, with a very tight structure. The taste exhibitsa firm tannins and length but with great finesse in evidence.
