Colheita - Niepoort

With Niepoort Colheita, a first-class port wine finds its way into the well-polished wine glass. There it reveals a wonderfully dense, purple-red color. The first nose of the Colheita shows notes of raisins and dried apricot. The fruity aspects of the bouquet are joined by barrel-aging notes such as even more fruity-balsamic nuances.

The Colheita can rightly be described as exceptionally fruit-driven and velvety, as it has been vinified with a wonderfully sweet flavor profile. Powerful and multi-layered, this dense fortified wine presents itself on the palate. Thanks to its balanced acidity, the Colheita caresses the palate with a soft feel, without lacking juicy vibrancy at the same time. On the finish, this wine from the Vinho Verde region finally delights with considerable length. Once again, hints of raisins and dried apricot appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the slate-dominated soils are added.

Vinification of Niepoort Colheita

The basis for the first-class and wonderfully powerful Colheita cuvée from Niepoort are Tempranillo, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Francisca, Tinto Cão, Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional grapes.
