✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Niepoort's Garrafeira is one of the rarest and most legendary styles in the world of Port, a category almost single-handedly preserved by the Niepoort family. It represents a fascinating hybrid of aging techniques: the wine is first aged in wood for a short period before being transferred into large glass demijohns, known as garrafeiras, which hold between 8 and 11 liters. Here, the wine undergoes a slow, reductive aging process in glass for decades—sometimes over a century. The 'Lalique' designation refers to an extraordinary collaboration featuring Niepoort's historic 1863 Garrafeira, which was aged in wood, transferred to glass demijohns in 1905, and eventually bottled in five bespoke Lalique crystal decanters. Made from a traditional field blend of ancient Douro grape varieties, this wine offers an ethereal combination of deep, oxidative complexity and a preserved, vibrant freshness that only glass aging can achieve.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Niepoort blev grundlagt i 1842 af Franciscus Marius van der Niepoort og er et ikonisk, uafhængigt familieejet hus med base i Vila Nova de Gaia og dybe historiske rødder i Portugals Douro-dal. Huset har i over et århundrede været berømt for sine skelsættende Colheita- og Vintage Ports, men gennemgik en dynamisk renæssance under femtegenerations-visionæren Dirk Niepoort, der banede vejen for den moderne æra af uforstærkede Douro-bordvine i absolut topklasse. Med en kompromisløs forkærlighed for gamle vinmarker med field blends, minimal intervention i vinfremstillingen og et unikt terroirudtryk skaber vinhuset hyldede tørre vine som Batuta, Charme og Redoma sideløbende med nyere projekter i Bairrada og Dão. I dag står Niepoort som et globalt beundret pejlemærke for portugisisk vinkunst, der ubesværet forener en tidløs portvinsarv med innovative, elegante og mineralske bordvine.
