Niepoort Vintage 2017 - 0.75l
The Vintage Port 2017 from Niepoort Port received a sensational 99-100 points from Parker. Dirk Niepoort himself is also enthusiastic and says: "This is the best port I've ever made!" Grapes from the very old vineyards of Cima Corgo were used for this outstanding Vintage Port, with the vines being an impressive 80 to 100 years old. Traditionally, the grapes were crushed with feet in large granite lagares and aged in wooden barrels in the Douro Valley. The wine only found its way to Villa Nova di Gaia in March 2018 and was finally bottled in June 2019. Niepoort Vinhos comments on this vintage with the words: "The length and structure of this Vintage 2017 guarantee the wine a long-lasting and great potential."
Cheese such as Queijo da Serra, Stilton or other types of blue cheese are particularly recommended as an accompaniment. But desserts with chocolate or pure dark chocolate also harmonize perfectly with this Vintage Port. Not to be forgotten are the impressive awards: 99 - 100 points from Robert Parker and 19.5 points from Jancis Robinson. A truly outstanding wine!
