✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Niepoort's 'VV' (Vinum Vinum) Very Old Tawny is a legendary monument in the world of Port, originally conceived by Eduard Dirk Niepoort in the mid-20th century and later revived by his grandson, Dirk. This extraordinary blend is crafted from some of the oldest and rarest wines resting in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia, with a significant portion of the blend tracing back to the mythical 1863 vintage—a pre-phylloxera masterpiece. Made from traditional Douro grape varieties grown in schist soils, the wine has undergone over a century of slow, oxidative concentration in wooden pipes. The result is a liquid history book, boasting incredible aromatic complexity, infinite depth, and a vibrant, high-acid spine that defies its extreme age. It represents the pinnacle of the blender's art and the ultimate expression of time-matured Tawny Port.
🍾 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.
