Description
Introducing Niepoort Bioma Vinha Velha Vintage – a highly esteemed addition to our portfolio. This Vintage pays homage to the “terroir” and the golden age of Port Wine, with a special vineyard (Vinha da Pisca) in the heart of Douro. Managed biologically and carefully selected, this vintage offers a taste of the past, similar to the English bottled Port Vintages of the 1970s. With majority of vines over 80 years old, Bioma “Vinha Velha” is truly a Vintage from a single vineyard.
Tasting Note: The nose is immediately compelling: crushed black pepper and warm spice weave through a core of sun-ripened plums and wild blackberries, hinting at the intensity within. On the palate, a bright, lifted acidity opens proceedings with surprising freshness, carrying vivid dark fruit before the wine reveals its true character: a broad, commanding tannic mid-palate that builds with authority towards a long, structured finish. Here, tannin takes centre stage, framing and disciplining the fruit in equal measure. A serious, cellar-worthy Port that will reward patience.
