After fermentation it is aged in new oak barrels and this is where Dirk Niepoort makes a statement of authenticity. Showing big ripe fruit and well integrated oak it combines with good acidity to keep this wine elegant. (6 x 75 cl)

Niepoort VERENTE Tinto Douro Portugal
Description: Niepoort is a family company now in its fifth generation and as a port house, it has enjoyed an unparalleled reputation for tradition. It may surprise some onlookers, then, to see DirkNiepoort at the cutting edge of fine table wine production in the Douro, treading a path which other premium shippers have felt decidedly uncomfortable about. However, this is DirkNiepoort a vigneron and winemaker extraordinaire, whose passion for old vines, low yields and terroir are as applicable to table wine as they are to great port. Here the main varieties used in this wine are Touriga Nacional and Tinta Amarela, from 20 year old vines at Quinta de Napoles. After harvest some of the grapes are fermented in lagares for greater complexity and the resulting blend was aged in a mix of new and used French oak barrels. The care taken in producing this wine has resulted in a spicy, fruity nose with ripe, elegant black fruit flavours including herbs and a hint of oak. The good acidity enhances the appeal overall, and gives the wine a long finish. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £84.66
