Niepoort Bioma Crusted Port (bottled 2014)
- 6 in stock
Niepoort was founded in 1842 by Franciscus Marius van der Niepoort, who was born in Holland and emigrated to Portugal. It has remained an independent family-run business ever since, and is currently in the hands of the endlessly experimental Dirk Niepoort. Dirk produces a bewildering range of wines and Ports, which are without exception of very fine quality. The Bioma Crusted Port is a highlight. It is made with fruit from the Vinha da Pisca vineyard, where the vines are more than 80 years old. This fruit forms the backbone of the Vintage Port in declared years, but is here bottled on its own after two years of ageing in wooden vats. The wine needs decanting and could be cellared for many years, but is already delicious on release, powerful and with masses of complexity.
