The Niepoort Ultreia displays balsamic aromas full of character with hints of pepper, black berries and wet stone. Fresh and broad on the palate with great depth. However, the dominant fruit and spice notes in no way hide the exotic floral aromas and notes of pine and fir needles. The tight tannin structure, combined with a good acidity, allows a great potential for aging in the bottle.

The grapes were cooled down to a temperature of 3°C for three days. Vinification was carried out in open fermentation vats with 25% of the grapes from the whole bunch, with a total maceration period of 45 days. The wine matured for 12 months in French oak barriques, where the biological acid reduction took place.
