2016 vintage. Dirk Niepoort's answer to Burgundy and it actually has a Pinot Noir like colour and mouthfeel. This is a very unusual Douro from very old vines. Delicate nose with sour cherries , pomegranate and flowers. It is all about finesse and subtlety. Very long. Delicious and expensive (80 euros), but if you see the prices of Portuguese high end wines these days it almost seems a bargain. — 2 years ago
Keep it cool but this is really clean and a bit restrained. Light gruner fruit notes but a fair amount of mineral or slate notes. Really fun. The best new world Gruner I have had — 3 years ago

2007 colheita, bottled in 2022. You can't go wrong with Dirk Niepoort's colheitas and this freshly bottled 2007 is a beauty. Niepoort colheitas are typically bottled after minimum 10 years in barrel (the legal minimum being 7 years) and the first bottling for this 2007 took place in March 2018. While they won't go bad in bottle, you might as well get them as fresh as possible. Brilliant tawny colour. Wonderful aromatics with candied fruits, orange peel, salted caramel and coffee. In the mouth it is amazingly fresh, with bright acidity balancing the dried figs and plums and the refined tannic backbone. Impressively long finish with candied orange, dark chocolate and coffee. A beautiful meditation wine and exceptional value. Abv. 18,9%. — 2 years ago
Oh this Pinot and Chardonnay sparkling is heavenly. It is dry and creamy at the same time, and has lovely fruit flavors. My favorite. — 3 years ago
What a lovely Pinot Noir this is. Cherry flavor and nose, fruity but elegant. The finish is complex, going from sour cherry to a mild astringency. A great find and value under $25. — 7 months ago
