Description
This vintage continues Niepoort tradition to create balanced ports with great concentration but simultaneosly
fine and delicate. At Niepoort' we predict that this vintage will be one of the finest in decades...
Tasting Notes
Fine, elegant, mineral but not balsamic. The taste continues fine, agressive and with tannins, rich but not
excessive and with a long final.
Impressive finesse even though robust.
Vinification
In 2003 the harvest had very hot days and also very humid days. The production was high but with small
grapes that produced concentrated tannins and colour.
Overriped and dry grapes were taken out to reassure the finesse of the wine.
Vinha da Pisca, (very old vineyard), with notes of coffee and black berries gave the final blend the
desired finesse.
In September 2005 the cycle for Niepoort Vintage 2003 was completed and now the wine ages in the final
bottle, (32000 bottles of 750ml).
