Robustus 2008 has amplitude with the presence of mineral earthy notes; long and vivid, the wine imposes itself on tasting by its freshness and youth than by the weight of its structure which exhibits very polished tannins

Robustus pays tribute to the first wine that Dirk Niepoort made in 1990 with the same name and which was never released. Robustus 2004 was the first harvest
