The wine combines initial aging in wood with a long period in large glass vessels. This unique method gives Garrafeira a place of its own among the classic port styles.<\/p>\n<h3>A family home steeped in history<\/h3>\n<p>Niepoort was founded in 1842 and is a historic name in the Douro. The house has preserved the \u201cGarrafeira\u201d tradition, in which port is transferred to glass demijohns after a period in wood. The wine continues to develop in the glass before it is finally bottled. It is a maturation method rarely found at other port houses.<\/p>\n<h3>The Story of the Vintage<\/h3>\n<p>1987 is not considered one of the generally recognized classic Vintage Port vintages. That is precisely why this Garrafeira is so interesting: it shows that Niepoort was able to select exceptional wines even outside the most famous Vintage years. The 1987 vintage developed its own character through a combination of aging in wood and in bottle. Today, every well-preserved bottle tells a story spanning nearly four decades.<\/p>\n<h3>Aromas and Development<\/h3>\n<p>Notes of dried fig, plum, orange peel, and nutty undertones may emerge in the glass. The long aging process can lend it a layered character, but the exact impression depends on the condition of the bottle. For older port, the fill level, cork, and storage history are important.<\/p>\n<h3>Saving, Opening, and Combining<\/h3>\n<p>Store the bottle in a cool, dark place. Stand it upright beforehand and, if necessary, decant it gently to separate any sediment. Serve slightly chilled, for example with nuts or fine cheeses. This Garrafeira is also a delight to discover on its own.<\/p>\n<h3>Discover more<\/h3>\n<p>See also <a href=\"https:\/\/port2port.be\/en\/product\/1977-niepoort-garrafeira-port-douro\/\">1977 Niepoort Garrafeira<\/a> and discover other unique ports at Port2Port.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1987 Niepoort Garrafeira Port is a unique Garrafeira Port aged in both wood and glass.
