AboutNiepoort
Niepoort dates to 1842, when the house began in Portugal’s Douro region with Port. Its scope widened after Quinta de Nápoles was acquired in 1987 and the first unfortified Douro wines followed in 1990, establishing Redoma among the new table-wine projects. Later work reached Vinho Verde, Bairrada and Dão, including the light-footed Nat’Cool movement and Rótulo from Quinta da Lomba. Late Bottled Vintage Port, Redoma, Nat’Cool, Rótulo and Diálogo therefore belong to one wide-ranging Portuguese house rather than unrelated regional producers.

Niepoort 2021 Diálogo Douro Tinto
Portuguese Red
Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Amarela form a red Douro blend. Ruby colour accompanies red-fruit and tea-leaf aromas, joined by pepper and a slate-like mineral note. The palate is fresh, structured and long, with integrated tannins. Medium body, black fruit, blueberry, spice and violet also characterize the dry style, which is suited to pork or grilled sausages.
Niepoort 2018 Rótulo Touriga Nacional Dão
Portuguese Red
Wild fruit and violet form an expressive, delicate bouquet. The palate has good structure, mineral character and fine tannins, and the finish is fresh and persistent. This red is made from Touriga Nacional and carries 13 percent alcohol. The Dão vineyards lie on granite terroir at the foot of the Serra da Estrela. The style is fresh and light, with pronounced acidity.
Niepoort 2023 Nat’Cool Bairrada Tinto 1 L
Portuguese Red
Made entirely from Baga, the wine brings together red cherry, strawberry, savoury herbs and mineral notes in a fresh, bright profile. The grapes grow on limestone soils under organic and biodynamic farming. They are destemmed, fermented carbonically and matured for ten months in stainless steel. Minimal sulfur is added at bottling, and the wine carries eleven percent alcohol with a silky texture and slight spritz.
Niepoort 2021 Nat’Cool Branco 1L
Portuguese White
Hazy and gently spritzy, with yellow apple, pear skin and apricot skin leading a bright, lightly rustic profile. The palate is slim and softly fuzzy, lifted by lively acidity and a subtle line of spice. Serve briskly chilled and share freely; it is a natural fit for shellfish, salty snacks, fresh cheeses or simple vegetable dishes.
Niepoort 2015 Redoma Douro
Portuguese Red
Dark cherry, plum and blackberry meet violet, dried herbs and a cool mineral note. The palate is structured and energetic, with fine tannins carrying the fruit rather than overwhelming it. Savoury spice and graphite emerge toward a persistent, balanced finish. Give it air and serve with lamb, braised beef or earthy mushroom dishes.
