Niepoort 10 Year Old Tawny

Wine information: Tawnies with an age indication such as "10 years" are blended from different wines averaging 10 years. The prolonged ageing in small wooden casks confers the characteristic Tawny colour. The principle features of an aged tawny are the complexity of aromas, the freshness and a persistent bouquet and refinement. After dinner, 10 years old tawny is a good match with cheeses and especially chocolate based desserts. it can also be drunk as an aperitif, served at room temperature or lightly chilled.

“Dirk Niepoort is the master of fine old tawnies. His family which has owned this small port house for generations, has always made the best 10-year-old tawny. This offers amazing aromas of orange and lemon peel, with hints of toffee, caramel and honey. Medium-to-full-bodied and luscious, with lots of sweet fruit and a long, subtle finish that goes on and on. This really is the benchmark for 10-year-old tawnies.” Wine Spectator, Sept 2003, Top of 10 Year Old Tasting with 95/100
