More information about Vertente Tinto DOC - Niepoort

The Vertente Tinto from Niepoort shines in a wonderful purple color in the glass. This  red wine is a charming blend of the Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Amarela and other Portuguese red grape varieties. 

Powerful notes of black wild berries unfold on the nose. In particular, black currant and blackberry come to the fore. The berry aromas are accompanied by a hint of minerality and subtle notes of smoke and spice. The palate presents a deep character with good, fine and elegant structure. The tannins are perfectly integrated into the body and harmonize wonderfully with the balanced acidity. The long-lasting finish is supported by berry nuances.
