1983 Niepoort Garrafeira Port from the Douro
A unique and refined port with exceptional elegance and complexity
The 1983 Niepoort Garrafeira Port is a special expression of a rare port style. Thanks to the combination of aging in wooden barrels and then prolonged aging in glass demijohns, this wine develops exceptional finesse and unique character.
Aroma & taste
In the glass, this port shows an evolved ruby color with amber nuances. The nose is refined and complex with aromas of dried fruit, orange peel, nuts and subtle herbal notes. On the palate it is elegant and fresh, with lively acidity and a long, delicate finish.
Serving & foodpairing
Serve lightly chilled at 14-16°C. Ideal with delicate desserts, soft cheeses or as an exclusive finale to a dinner party.
The story behind the bottle
Garrafeira is a unique aging method used almost exclusively by Niepoort. The combination of wood and glass aging creates a style distinct from both tawny and vintage port. The 1983 is a wonderful example of this tradition and a valuable collector's item.
