Niepoort 10 Year Old White Port

Description

Niepoort 10 Year Old White Port is a relatively new addition to the Niepoort portfolio – the category for 10 Year Old White Port is quite new. It is an individual and distinct White Port that is the result of blending parcels of old White Ports. The white grapes for this wines, it is a blend of Côdega, Rabigato, Viosinho, Arinto, Gouveio and other grape varieties, undergo a long period of skin maceration and are foot trodden. Following the addition of grape brandy, the White Port spends a year in large oak vats, followed by ageing in traditional oak pipes for a period of between 7 and 15 years. Prior to bottling, a selection of the best White Ports was made and the resulting wines were blended resulting in this fine Port.
