Vinification of Fabelhaft Tawny Port from Niepoort The vines for this extraordinary Tawny Port grow on the steep slopes of the Douro Valley, one of the oldest and most spectacular wine regions in the world. The grapes are predominantly hand-harvested to guarantee optimal ripeness and avoid damaged berries. The harvest time is precisely chosen to achieve the perfect balance between sugar and acidity. Vinification begins with gentle destemming followed by soft pressing of the grapes. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with regular stirring of the must to intensively extract color and flavor. The must is then fortified with high-quality wine spirit to stop fermentation and preserve the natural sweetness. Storage traditionally takes place in small oak barrels, called “pipes,” in the cool cellars of Niepoort. Through the years-long aging process in wood, the Port develops its characteristic tawny notes and a fascinating complexity. Oxidation in the air allows aromas of nuts, dried fruits, and spices to mature. The maturation provides a velvety texture and a long finish. This careful craftsmanship makes Fabelhaft Tawny Port from Niepoort a true treasure of Port wine craftsmanship.
