Niepoort Tawny

Notes - Niepoort is a family company now in its fifth generation and presently managed by Dirk Niepoort. Despite being the second smallest shippers in the trade they are second to none in quality. Already famous for their classic tawny ports, they have now joined the ranks of the great producers of Vintage Port. To produce a fine balance and flavour Niepoort Tawny ages in oak casks for 3 to 5 years.  Freshness, lightness and balance are the key elements of this wine. A Port easy to drink on any occasion. Tawny has a shiny bright colour and soft and sweet tannins. Tawny port keeps well for several years, although the wine will not improve with age. It contains no sediment and need not be decanted. It has a wonderful combination of coffee caramel and raisin flavours and keeps excellently once opened, can be served at room temperature or slightly chilled, and is quite delicious on its own or with many dishes. Try it with creamy cheeses (like brie) or nutty cheeses (like strong cheddar), or desserts like treacle sponge, sticky toffee pudding or just with nuts and dried fruit.
