Description
Vinification:
Vintage Port is bottled within two years of the harvest date and is 100% wine from that vintage. The magic of Vintage Port is different at each stage: as a young wine it captures the characters of young fruit, after 20 years or more the effects of the slow integration of bottle aging are revealed, and finally, after For many decades, the spirit dominates the wine. Vintage Port is fantastic in all three phases. Maturation in the bottle is more reductive than aging in the cask and the resulting wine has a fruitiness and power that develops in the traditional bottle of Porto Preto. The wine must be decanted. Serve at the end of a meal with cheese, especially blue cheese which goes very well. Vinification: After a hot and dry summer, the grapes were in good condition at the time of harvest, although a little overripe. Some densely colored wines were made in foot-treading presses, only a few Vintage declarations were made in 1987, one of them being Niepoort. The wine, now almost 20 years old, exhibits the wonderful bottle aging character characteristic of a good Vintage Port.
