Niepoort Voyeur Tinto

Tasting Notes

This is the first vintage of Niepoort’s Voyeur Tinto from the Douro Valley. Unlike many Douro reds this wine is not about richness, power and being full-bodied, this is an expression of what can be achieved in the Douro. An old vine field blend made with a number of different varieties, including some white, from several different plots. Each plot was fermented and then matured for 8 months in 1000 litre clay amphora. Light in colour, and in alcohol, with fresh red fruit aromas complemented with some floral and more earthy notes as well. Light to medium bodied on the palate with light tannins, refreshing acidity and a long length. Well structured and complex and best served slightly chilled.
