Batuta was first released in 1999. The goal was to produce an impressive wine and that is why the name Batuta (stands for the baton an orchestral conductor uses) was choosen.

The fruit comes from Quinta do Carril a north facing vineyard, with more than 70 years old near Quinta de Napoles. The wine is dark ruby in colour. In the nose it has aromas of red and black cherries. The aroma is powerful and persistent showing a elegant edge from the oak ageing. It shows flavours of herbs, plums, black cherries and brown spices. It has plenty of tannins to last a decade. Batuta was produced in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2003.

Charme is all about elegance and balance, achieved by taking special attention to the smallest details during all the wine making process.

Charme is 100%  foot-trodden in lagares with all the stems.

It’s a blend of very good wines from Dão (Quinta da Pellada) and Douro (Quinta do Carril) in a close collaboration of two winemakers: Alvaro Castro and Dirk Niepoort . The result is lovely, perfumed, raspberry fruit aromas, with richness and freshness on the palate. Tannins are firm, acidity bright, and there’s a creamy feel to the whole.

Dado was produced  in  2001, 2002 and 2003.

Fabelhaft is specially designed for the german market. The name and the Wilhem Busch story are part of the imaginary.

The result is lovely, perfumed, raspberry fruit aromas, with richness and freshness on the palate. Tannins are firm, acidity bright, and there’s a creamy feel to the whole. Young wine, with perfumed length.

Projectos (which is the portuguese word for projects) are small experiments where Niepoort tries out different vinification methods and shares the results with the wine community.

The first creations are Chardonnay, Colheita Tardia and Riesling.

The vineyards for the Redoma White are all above 400 meters, up to 800 meters, thus having a cooler (particularly at night) and longer ripening, all vineyards are over 60 years old, 3 off them being particularly old (over 100 years old).

Vertente was created in 2000 with the goal of showing a different approach in niepoort douro wines: more attainable while preserving the quality and character of Niepoort (the portuguese word Vertente means line or style). Vertente was sourced from vineyards at Quinta de Nápoles and from old vineyards in the Pinhão Valley.
2003 is the fourth year of Vertente production, and the wine now shows a defined personality, clearly detached from Redoma or Batuta. Vertente is not only very pleasant to drink but also dense and complex. A versatile wine to go along with any meal…
