NIEPOORT Bioma Tinto (Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca Tinta Roriz) 2017/18 Bottle 12%abv - VGN/VEG/ORG

Description

Niepoort has been an independent family business since its creation in 1842. Today it is led by the fifth generation, Dirk Niepoort, supported by his sons Daniel and Marco. Dirk has been a relentless innovator and creative throughout his time at Niepoort. One of his early priorities was to purchase parcels of old, steep (and often north facing) vineyards in the Douro to give greater control over supply. Quinta de Napoles was purchased in 1987 with thirty hectares and Quinta do Carril followed in 1988 with nine hectares. Niepoort now own over eighty hectares of vineyards in the Douro, all farmed organically.

The Bioma Tinto is an organically produced, SATIVA-certified wine created exclusively from our Quinta de Nápoles vineyards whose vines are quite young, with an age of approximately 25 years. In producing this wine, we opted for minimal intervention and a maturation period in an old wooden wine vat which had previously been used for Port. The aim was to obtain a pure wine without too much influence from the oak, but with firm and elegant tannins.

Traditional cuisine, including pork and beans, lamprey, oven-roasted kid goat, and Minho-style rojões (fried pork and pork rinds). Vegetarian suggestions: lentil or beetroot dishes.
