Wine information:
Note - Niepoort believe that the colour of the port should be inspired by the "rubi stone" (instead of black dark colour Ruby).
Niepoort Ruby is is a fresh, young and fruity (lot's of red cherries and red fruits!). The wine originates from low yielding old vineyards in the Cima Corgo Region of the Douro Valley. The grapes are predominantly trodden in Lagares, prior to ageing in large wooden vats at Niepoort's lodge in Gaia and bottled with an average age of 3 years. Dark red in colour with a fresh vibrant aroma of dark fruits which follows through on the palate along with an almost mineral character, a youthful wine with good extract and great balance, offering superb "drinkability". Ready to drink now after a meal on its own or with soft cheeses.
