The Niepoort LBV has a beautiful and intense ruby red colour and exudes notes of red and black cherries, a touch of pepper and bitter chocolate. On the palate it is voluminous with strong tannins, yet smooth and elegant. It is fresh thanks to a good acidity structure and ends in a pleasant finish. To drink now, this LBV can gain in complexity with the great ageing potential of 20 years. To preserve its qualities, it is recommended to decant this wine.

The grapes come from vineyards with low yields in the Cima Corgo region of the Douro Valley. They are traditionally foot rammed and macerated in Lagares. After fermentation, the wine matures in large oak barrels and vats in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia. It is a tradition at Niepoort to begin bottling the LBV four years after the harvest in order to maintain the characteristic freshness and fruitiness of these wines.
