Vinification of the Tawny 0.05l miniature from Niepoort The wine is made from handpicked grapes ripening in the sun-kissed vineyards of the Douro Valley. The mild climate with hot days and cool nights creates optimal conditions for the development of intense aromas and concentrated fruit. The harvest is carefully done by hand to use only the best grapes for processing. After picking, the berries undergo gentle crushing and begin their alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Temperature control during fermentation promotes the extraction of the typically profound aromas and ensures the perfect balance between sweetness and structure. Afterwards, the wine ages for several years in small oak barrels, the so-called “Pipas”. During this phase, oxidative aging takes place, which imparts the Tawny its characteristic color and unique aroma diversity. The key steps of production can be broken down as follows: Careful hand harvest at optimal ripeness Gentle grape pressing and controlled fermentation Long aging in oak barrels with controlled oxidation Bottling and careful quality control This careful vinification guarantees a consistent style and the highest quality, appreciated by connoisseurs worldwide.
