Browse by Winemaker - Dirk Niepoort
The genius behind Niepoort's ports and wines and a comparative youngster. Since taking over from his father the quality of the wines Niepoort release has, if anything, improved. Now a superstar and rightly so - his laid back attitude (brilliantly displayed at a tutored Martinez/Niepoort tasting in Harrogate in 2000) to just about everything is one of his great characteristics. He knows how good his wines are - the fact that Robert Parker (for example) doesn't particularly rate them (he lists them simply as 'good') leaves him unfazed. If only there were more winemakers out there like Dirk!

Golden in colour, this exhibits a complex aroma of dried fruits dominated by orange peel and dried figs, as well as walnuts and roasted almonds. A floral touch completes the aroma. On the palate it is very fine and balanced, with a vibrant acidity balancing it´s sweet character, interacting with the fortifying spirit to perfection and giving the wine a superb structure.
