Fruit glows at the heart of Niepoort Colheita 2009, with juicy cherry and red licorice tones layered over figs, raisins and gentle cocoa, all wrapped in a mellow, nutty tawny warmth. Medium in sweetness yet vivid in flavor, it glides into a long, spiced finish with a touch of polished wood and dried fruit complexity that keeps calling you back.

Niepoort Colheita is a single‑vintage tawny port from Dirk Niepoort’s Douro program: grapes from old, low‑yielding schist vineyards (Touriga Nacional/Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão, Sousão, etc.) are foot‑treaded and fortified, then matured in small oak casks in Vila Nova de Gaia for many years (Colheitas require at least seven) to develop a tense acidity alongside nutty, dried‑fruit, caramel and spice notes—a focused, village‑and‑vintage‑specific expression of aged tawny Port.
