Description
The Luxurious Depth of Niepoort’s Flagship Red
Fulfilling a dream of Dirk Niepoort, Turris is a wine made from an old vineyard, over 130 years old, facing south, in Cima Corgo, Douro. Turris Tinto is a flagship red wine from Niepoort, named after the Latin word for tower, reflecting the winery’s commitment to crafting wines of strength and structure.
A blend of traditional Douro grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and others. Exceptional growing conditions in 2016 led to a perfect harvest in late August, resulting in high quality grapes with excellent acidity and health.
The fermentation occurred in stainless steel vats with gentle maceration for 5 weeks. Aged for 12 months in fudre, over 60 years old, brought from the Mosel region in Germany, and 24 months in bottle prior to release.
Tasting Note: Deep violet shades and subtle hints of ruby. The refreshing and refined palate surprises with crispness and precision. Alluring tastes of exotic spices and pink pepper, while the mineral undertones and dark blackcurrant flavours continue to excite. Savour its electrifying and elegant texture, with a lingering finish that leaves a lasting impact. This wine boasts a complexity and character that embody its exclusive origins in the historic vineyards of Douro.
