**Museum Release** 2016 Niepoort Bioma Vinha Velha Vintage

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: A concentrated, almost dark purple colour, with aromas of black pepper, spice and dark fruits such as plums and blackberries. Initially the palate is fresh with superb acidity and a wonderful expression of dark fruits, but follows through to a bold tannic mid-palate and finish, the sweetness and fruit very much dominated by tannin on the finish. This is a Port wine suitable for long cellaring.

Origin: Douro Valley, Portugal

Blend: Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão, Tinta Francisca, Tinta Amarela, Sousão, Touriga Nacional
