Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
Niepoort's entry-level Douro red, a juicy blend built around Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca with a touch of Tinta Roriz. Dark plum and berry fruit, floral violet notes and gentle spice, with supple medium tannins and fresh acidity that make it approachable young. A versatile, food-friendly everyday red rather than a wine for long cellaring.
