Niepoort Ruby Port Wine is fresh, young and fruity. An expressive Port with great character
<p></p><p>Graham's was one of the first Port companies to invest in its own vineyards in Portugal’s Douro Valley in 1890 and is now at the cutting edge of innovation in winemaking techniques. This makes Graham’s a pioneer since always. <br />Today five cousins of Symington family share responsibility for every aspect of the company and personally make the Graham’s wines</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p>
<p></p><p>All ports at Quinta de la Rosa are made in the ‘house style’ namely slightly drier without any cloying sweetness that is often associated with ports. As in their wines, they search for balance, harmony and equilibrium from their vineyards and they try to enable the grapes to express themselves in the bottle. The La Rosa style is to make well defined wines without too much extraction and tannin</p>
<p></p><p>The production of wines is a familiar tradition for Domingos Alves de Sousa: the father and the grandfather were already Douro wine producers.</p>
<p></p><p><span>Niepoort white 10 years old presents a classic style due to the long oxidative ageing process and the extended skin maceration. Serve chilled as an aperitif, with dessert or on its own at the end of a meal</span></p> <p></p>
<p></p><p><span>Since was founded as a port wine house, the company devoted much of its energy to international wine markets. Ramos Pinto company was also a Pioneer in the study of Portuguese grape varieties, viticulture in the Douro region, winemaking and medical wines (properties of quinine).</span></p>
<p></p><p>Vintage Port maintains Niepoort's tradition of making balanced Ports with great concentration, being at the same time fine and delicate.</p> <p>The magic of Vintage Port is different in every phase: as a young wine it captures the youthful fruit characters. Then, after 20 years or more, the effects of the slow bottle age integration are revealed and finally, after many decades, the spirit dominates the wine. Vintage Port is amazing in all the three phases</p> <p></p> <p></p>
<p></p><p>Colheitas are dated Tawnies aged in small casks. The minimum age requirement is 7 years, but the tradition at Niepoort is to age several more years before bottling. The wine takes on a Tawny hue. Wood and nutty tones are evident on the palate due to the wine’s slow ageing in old casks. Colheita goes well with dry fruits desserts and the portuguese "Leite Creme queimado". As a starter, the combination with foie gras is impressive</p> <p></p>
<p></p><p><span lang="en-sg" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;" xml:lang="en-sg">Niepoort Garrafeira 1983 is not just a wine; it means by itself quality far above the traditional canons. On the taste reveals a great mixture of sensations, aromas and flavours with a perfect balance between youth and experience, between the novelty of the fruit and the “good old age” that only long years of ageing can achieve</span></p>
<p></p><p><span>Ruby Dum by Niepoort retains its youthful, strong character, dominated by red cherries and plums with great freshness from ageing in large wooden vats in the cool cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia. Deep red, with fresh and ripe fruity aroma, easy drinking. Great with chocolate desserts or soft cheese</span></p> <p></p> <p></p>
