Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, sweet
Glassport is Niepoort's entry-level Port, an approachable NV blend built for everyday enjoyment rather than long cellaring. Expect ripe dark fruit, cocoa and a touch of spice, wrapped in the warm sweetness and grippy structure typical of young-vine Douro Port. Niepoort's house style tends toward freshness and restraint, so it should feel a little brighter and less syrupy than some entry-level rivals.
