Vinification of the Niepoort Fabelhaft Tinto Christmas Edition Tempranillo, Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional grapes form the basis for the first-class and wonderfully balanced Fabelhaft Tinto Christmas Edition cuvée from Niepoort. In Douro, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on slate soils. The grapes for this red wine from Portugal are harvested exclusively by hand once optimum ripeness has been ensured. After manual harvesting, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Part of the Fabelhaft then matures in French barriques, while the rest remains in stainless steel tanks for around 6 months. At the end of this period, the Fabelhaft Tinto Christmas Edition can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for a few months. Food recommendation for the Fabelhaft Tinto Christmas Edition from Niepoort This Portuguese wine works perfectly with leek tortilla, asparagus salad with quinoa or leek soup. The Fabelhaft also cuts a fine figure simply with delicious cold meats and cheese.
