Niepoort Vintage 2005 Ruby
98,39 €
In 2005 the harvest had very hot and also very humid days. The production was high but with small berries that have concentrated the tannins and colour. Overripe and dry grapes were taken out to reassure the finesse of the wine. Vinha da Pisca (very old vineyard) with notes of coffee and black berries gave the final blend the desired freshness.
Niepoort Vintage 2005 is fine, elegant, mineral but not balsamic, the floral and fruity character are enhanced. Delicate, assertive flavor with tannins, rich although not excessive and with a long finish. It is a robust wine although very elegant. Wine with a very fine and delicate aroma, with floral and fruity components in the spotlight. In the mouth, it is tannic but fine. Rich but not excessive and with a long spicy aftertaste.
Perfect with “Queijo da Serra”, a Stilton or other blue cheeses. Egg based desserts with “Pão de Ló” (Portuguese sponge based cake).
