NIEPOORT

The Niepoort family has been producing Port Wine since 1842. The first estate in the Douro was purchased in 1987 and Dirk Niepoort ushered in a new era in the company with the creation of the first red wine in 1991. In recent years, Niepoort has launched to itself the great challenge of interpreting other soils and climates, and acquired two properties in other regions: Dão and Bairrada. Discover the Niepoort Triangle that expresses the different terroirs: Shale (Douro), Limestone (Bairrada) and Granite (Dão).

The second generation of the Niepoort family, in the late 19th century, had the fortunate idea of buying from a german glass factory in Oldenburg about 4000 demijohns of dark-green glass with varying capacities from 8 to 11 litres. Eduard Karel Jacob van der Niepoort died early and it was his son, Eduard Marius van der Niepoort, Dirks grandfather, who gave purpose to the demijohns by bottling the best wines of the 1931 harvest, thus creating the type "Garrafeira Niepoort". Since the distant year of 1931 to this day the maturation in the demijohns, sealed with a cork, has been closely watched, it is almost a "sacred" ritual for both the Niepoort and the Nogueira families.Garrafeira is not just a wine, it means by itself quality far above the traditional canons. The tasting offers an unique experience, indeed one that only those who taste and feel can explain. A great mixture of sensations, aromas and flavours with a perfect balance between youth and experience, between the novelty of the fruit and the "good old age" that only long years of ageing can achieve.
