Niepoort Tawny 20 Years Old Port

The fascinatingly multi-layered bouquet of the Niepoort 20 Years Tawny Port offers notes of dried apricots and candied fruit as well as wonderfully harmonising aromas of mocha, dark chocolate and caramel. The port wine is a shimmering red to brown in the glass. It is impressively aromatic and powerful on the palate, with a finish characterised by nutty aromas and notes of dried fruit.

The grapes for the Niepoort 20 Years Tawny Port come from vines that are more than 60 years old. This outstanding creation, consisting of grape varieties such as Albariño, Sousão, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Cão, Tinta Francisca and Touriga Nacional, is an excellent accompaniment to desserts with nuts or roasted almonds, fine walnut ice cream or various ripe cheeses. The Niepoort 20 Years Tawny Port is another masterpiece of the Niepoort estate. It is also lovely on its own as an aperitif, especially when it’s slightly chilled.

Niepoort

Portugiesische Weine, Portwein und der Hang nach Perfektion – das sind Attribute, die dem Weingut Niepoort gerecht werden. Vor 200 Jahren gegründet, befindet sich das Weingut mit niederländischen Wurzeln, heute noch in Familienbesitz und die neue Generation der Winzerfamilie führt das traditionsreiche Weinbauunternehmen fort. Portwein, die einstige Grundlage der Gründer, spielt nach wie vor eine bedeutende Rolle im Hause Niepoort.

Das Weingut liegt in der geschichtsträchtigen Weinbauregion Douro, in der seit mehr als 2000 Jahren Wein angebaut wird und die seit 2001 zum UNESCO Kulturerbe gehört. Hier werden ausschließlich die alten, bewährten Weinsorten angebaut, die sich mit den geologischen und klimatischen Eigenheiten der Region optimal ergänzen. Bereichert sind diese angestammten Anbaugebiete durch neu erworbene Flächen aus dem Gebiet von Cima Corga. Hier reifen die Trauben der legendären Portweine, aus den Kellern des Weinguts Niepoort. Zu den interessantesten Portweinen gehören zweifelsfrei die Sorten Ruby und Tawny. Der Ruby reift für etwa drei Jahre im Barrique, wogegen der Tawny ein wenig länger in kleinen Portwein-Pipes schlummert und dort seine elegant, liebliche Note erlangt. In Kennerkreisen kommt man schon lange nicht mehr an diesen Niepoort-Spezialitäten vorbei. Der Ruby überzeugt mit seinem intensiven und komplexen Charakter, der fruchtige Noten von dunklen, reifen Kirschen wiedergibt und an vollreife, duftschwangere Früchte erinnert. Des Rubys Parade Disziplin ist es, mit seiner lieblichen Art und nussigen Aromen jedes Dessert zu bereichern und abzurunden.

Die Arbeit in den Weinkellern untersteht der Familie und ist von Geheimnissen umgeben, die den großen, internationalen Erfolg des portugiesischen Familienunternehmens sichert. Beste Böden, bestes Terroir und die akribische Art der Weiterverarbeitung sind Attribute, die sich das Erfolgsunternehmen aus Portugal auf die Fahnen geschrieben hat. Ihre Weißweine, Rotweine und die hoch interessanten Portweine stehen Zeuge für die Richtigkeit ihrer Art große Weine zu produzieren.

Ramos Pinto Tawny Port 'Quinta do Bom Retiro' 20 Years
This blend, consisting of port wines with an average age of at least 20 years, impressively shows the great complexity that distinguishes port wines in this category. The Ramos Pinto Quinta Do Bom Retiro 20 Years Old unites notes of grapefruit, apricots, almonds, hazel nuts and cocoa beans in its bouquet, complemented by nuances of cinnamon, caramel and coffee as well as aromas of vanilla and old port wine barrels, influenced by notes of wood. It is velvety, dry and initially elegant on the palate. As you drink it, aromas of ripe and dried fruit and nuts, which harmonise perfectly, characterise the palate.This blend, consisting of the Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cao, Touriga Franca und Touriga Nacional grape varieties, comes from the Quinta do Bom Retiro winery, one of the oldest estates in the Douro region. Due to the long ageing in wooden casks, the colour of this port wine changes from red to brick red or yellow. The Ramos Pinto estate itself writes about the colours of a sunset.You’ll enjoy discovering this special Tawny port wine with high-quality chocolate, various cheeses and cream-based desserts. It also goes beautifully with dried fruit, nuts and nut cake. Blending older wines presents a considerably greater challenge and requires far greater expertise than blending younger ones. The venerable Ramos Pinto estate has been a master of this art since 1880 - an experience that wine connoisseurs can taste and smell.
