BATUTA |
|
|
|
Batuta was first released in 1999. The
goal was to produce an impressive Douro wine and the name Batuta was
the perfect name (stands for the baton an orchestral conductor uses)
.
The fruit comes from Quinta do Carril a north facing vineyard, with
more than 70 years, near Quinta de Napoles and two vineyards at 750
meters over 100 years olds. Batuta is a perfect blend: powerfull yet
elegant and with great harmony. A wine with great ageing potencial.
Batuta was
produced in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004 and
2005.

from very old vineyards in the Vale Mendiz area on the banks of the Pinhγo river

DADO
|
|
|
|
Inspired by an old idea of
his father, Dirk associated with Alvaro de Castro in order to make
the perfect wine. The innovative approach is the union of two
different wine regions Dγo and Douro. The combination of the
different characteristics of the vines creates an impressive wine
with the freshness and elegance of Dγo and the concentration and
fine tannins of Douro.
The first Dado was born in 2000, a blend of 50% Dγo wine from Quinta
da Pellada and 50% Douro from Quinta do Carril. Making the wine was
actually the easiest part of the process. The challenge was to
overcome all the legal problems related to the label approval. As a
table wine the label could not mention: regions involved , year of
harvest, year of bottling, or the history of the wine
The result is lovely, perfumed, raspberry fruit aromas, with
richness and freshness on the palate. Tannins are firm, acidity
bright, and theres a creamy feel to the whole.
For legal reasons the
wine is only available in Portugal until Vintage 2004.
Dado was produced in 2000,
2001, 2003, 2004 and 2005

Das genussbetonte
Erlebnis des Raben Huckebein und sein fatales Ende in zauberhafter
Weise von Wilhelm Busch geschildert, hat Niepoort fόr Fabelhaft
gewδhlt. Da Tiergeschichten auch als Fabel bezeichnet werden,
trδgt der Wein den Namen Fabelhaft. Und so schmeckt er auch! Fabelhaft
zeigt alle Stδrken eines klassischen Douro-Weines wie tiefe Frucht,
lebhafte Sδure und reife Tannine. Gleichzeitig aber bereitet er
schon in seiner Jugend Trinkfreude. Ausgewogenheit und Drinkability
sind seine Essenz.
Fabelhaft wurde in
den folgende Jahren produziert: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 und 2006.

TIARA |
|
|

Tiara
is Niepoorts last creation: a fresh, elegant white wine. Tiaras
freshness and acidity is not typical for Douro white wines but the
concentration of old vines is distinctive Douro.
The slow fermentation (3 month) and the altitude of the vines give elegance and freshness and the age
(average 60 years) of the vines are responsible for
the concentration.
Tiara was produced in 2004, 2005 and 2006.

PROJECTOS
|
|
|
|
Projectos (which is the portuguese word for projects) are small
experiments where Niepoort tries out different paths to create other
wines and shares the results with the wine lovers. The first
creations are uncommon wines for Douro: Chardonnay, Colheita Tardia
and Riesling.
Chardonnay and Riesling are coming from a twenty year old vineyard
planted at 750 metres of altitude. While Chardonnay is fermented and
aged for 8-9 months in oak casks, the Riesling is slowly fermented in
stainless steel vats along with fine lees.
The late harvest 2003 is a combination of 25% dried Malvasia Fina,
50% old vines with Botrytis and 25% Riesling that were selected
berry by berry on the sorting table.
Partially fermented in new French oak casks and totally aged in
stainless steel vat until bottling in April 2004. |

Chardonnay was produced in
2003 and
2004.
Riesling was produced in
2004 and
2005
Colheita Tardia was
produced in 2001 (called Douro) and
2003.

REDOMA
ROSΙ |
|
|
|
Niepoort launched the first Rosι, thus proving that high-quality
wines may also be coloured pink.
Redoma is fermented in new French oak casks after free run juice
from traditional stone lagares, in opposite to the typical
winemaking of Rosι wine. Complexity is obtained by a long (several
hours) skin contact.
Produced in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. [ 2004:
