Description
WOW. This is a masterclass in winemaking, and the Bordeaux lover will love this!
Vertente is a stunningly elegant and complex wine that beautifully captures the bold fruit and concentration you expect from Douro wines, while still delivering that signature freshness Niepoort is known for. It’s the perfect balance of power and finesse.
Most of the grapes come from 60-year-old vines on the right bank of the Douro River, with a smaller portion from 30-year-old vines in the Tedo River Valley at Quinta de Nápoles. The result? A wine that’s bursting with character, yet refined and refreshingly vibrant. An absolute must-try for anyone who loves a bit of depth in their glass.
