Niepoort, Rotulo Tinto

Tasting Notes

The wine is a blend of native Portuguese grapes, including Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro, Jaen, and Tinta Pinheira. Many of these grapes come from very old vineyards planted high up on granite soils.

It has a smooth, stony mineral feel from the granite soil and a clean, long finish. Wild strawberries, red cherries, and dried herbs, with a pretty hint of flowers and mint.
