Colheita Tawny Port 2008, Niepoort Sparkling and a touch of toasty

and a touch of toasty / biscuit character

Beautifully elegant

but more of an epic wine with endless layers of flavour and texture

Tannins are plentiful in the '17 vintage but so soft and ripe

Colheita Tawny Port 2008, Niepoort Sparkling and a touch of toastyColheita Ports are some of the great hidden gems of the Douro. Whereas the traditionally more prized Vintage Ports spend only 18 months in oak barrels before bottling, Colheita Tawny ports spend more time in barrel before release, 7 years in fact and also come from a specific vintage. All of this means bags of complexity and the wine is ready to go! From the legendary Niepoort, this is simply awesome, dried cherries, figs, walnuts, caramel all getting
