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.
After meticulous sorting, alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, with approximately 20% whole bunches. We let the juice macerate for 1 month so that we could carefully extract the full potential of the vineyard. The wine matured in over 60-year-old foudre barrels.
Tasting Note: An intense ruby red hue. On the nose, aromas of fruits of the forest, herbs, spices and some floral hints mingle with touches of graphite, lending this red wine the complexity typical of the Douro Valley’s schist soils. The palate offers Niepoort’s signature elegant backbone, acidity and freshness. A long finish lingers in the mouth with hints of mint.
Origin: Douro Valley, Portugal
Blend: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, & others.
