Niepoort Vertente

Tasting Notes

Niepoort Vertente is a highly regarded dry red table wine from the Douro Valley in Portugal, crafted by the historic Niepoort winery. Unlike the heavy, high-alcohol reds often found in the region, Vertente is celebrated for its finesse, freshness, and elegant mineral core.

The wine is medium-to-full-bodied but agile. It features expressive aromas of dark berries, wild blackberries, plum, and warming spices alongside earthy, stony undertones. It offers balanced acidity and silky, fine-grained tannins with a fresh, savory finish.
