The Niepoort Conversa Tinto presents itself in a glass of vivid ruby red colour and pampers the nose with a fresh and very expressive aroma of wild fruit. Notes of spices and tea leaves unfold, creating a harmonious balsamic profile and a complex and captivating aroma. On the palate it is elegant and has a distinct mineral profile. Good volume in the mouth, young, with good acidity and soft tannins, this is a wine that one likes to drink without being heavy, thanks to its balance. Long finish, with a very refreshing mineral taste.

The grapes were hand-picked at optimal ripeness, with high acidity and balanced sugar levels; after selection, the grapes were completely destemmed. The fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with a maceration period of 8-15 days. After fermentation, 20% of the wine was matured for 12 months in French oak barrels and 80% in stainless steel tanks.
