Niepoort is an independent family business since 1842. Through five generations, the business has passed successfully from one Niepoort to the next, and in most cases, older and younger generation worked side by side.
Dirk is now head of the business, since the formal retirement of Eduard Rudolph Niepoort in 2005. Dirk's passion for wines and the humble respect and curiosity for the Douro terroir defined the Niepoort spirit over the last two decades and is a constant inspiration and challenge to the team.
What the critics say:
"Powerful and dense, this wine exudes the darkest of tannins as well as intense black fruit. Layers of richness and structure show in this Port's considerable ageability, while its acidity lends freshness. This is a wine that should be aged for 15 years or more. "
"Shaded to ruby. Very rich and broad – much 'smudgier' and 'warmer' than the sharper vintage ports of most houses. Hint of fudge. Tannins almost imperceptible with notes of macerated raisins. Thoroughly warming and approachable."
