Fabelhaft Tinto 0,375 l - Niepoort

With the Niepoort Fabelhaft Tinto, a first-class red wine flows into the swirled glass, where it displays a wonderfully bright, ruby-red color. On the nose, this Niepoort red wine offers all kinds of plums, raspberries, and blackberries. As if that were not already impressive, mineral notes are added thanks to maturation in stainless steel.

Niepoort’s Fabelhaft Tinto is ideal for all wine lovers who prefer as little residual sweetness in their wine as possible. At the same time, it never appears meager or austere, as one might naturally expect from such a wine. On the palate, this well-balanced red is characterized by an incredibly velvety texture. Thanks to the balanced acidity, Fabelhaft Tinto caresses the palate with a pleasing feel, without sacrificing freshness. The finish of this red wine from the Douro & Porto region ultimately impresses with a good length. The aftertaste is also accompanied by mineral notes from the slate-dominated soils.

Vinification of Niepoort Fabelhaft Tinto

The well-balanced Fabelhaft Tinto from Portugal is a cuvée made from the grape varieties Tempranillo, Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca, and Touriga Nacional. In Douro & Porto, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on slate soils. Once optimal ripeness is ensured, the berries for this Portuguese red wine are harvested exclusively by hand. After handpicking, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There, they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, Fabelhaft Tinto can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for several months.
