Niepoort Vertente Tinto

Notes - Vertente was created in 2000 with the goal of showing a different approach to other Niepoort douro wines: more consumer friendly than Redoma, with a bit more fruit, whilst preserving the quality and character of Niepoort (the portuguese word Vertente means line or style). The 2002 Vertente was sourced from vineyards at Quinta de Nápoles and from old vineyards in the Pinhão Valley and the blend is mainly Touriga Nacional and Tinta Amarela. The nose is Fruit driven, with nice aromas of blackberries and complex balsamic notes. The palate shows a full bodied wine with intense fruit aromas, balanced with pleasant freshness. The wood is well integrated with a long elegant finish (12 months in French oak).
