Why You'll Love It
Tawny Dee is wonderfully easy to enjoy, combining rich dried-fruit sweetness with the nutty, gently oxidative character that comes from time in old oak. It makes a brilliant partner for an apple tart or a piece of mature cheese, and is especially good served slightly chilled.
About The Producer
Niepoort is one of the defining names in modern Portuguese wine. Founded in 1842 in Vila Nova de Gaia as an independent Port house, it remains in the hands of the Niepoort family, now spanning six generations. Dirk Niepoort joined his father Rolf in 1987 and began challenging what people expected from the Douro. By acquiring Quinta de Nápoles and Quinta do Carril and championing dry wines alongside the family's outstanding Ports, he helped transform the reputation of Portugal's indigenous grapes and vineyards. Rather than chasing sheer weight or concentration, Niepoort's approach favours freshness, balance, character and a genuine expression of place. That curiosity has since taken the family into Dão, Bairrada, Vinho Verde and beyond, working with old vines, local varieties and like-minded growers. Today Dirk works alongside the next generation, including Daniel and Marco, who continue to push the estate forward without losing sight of its roots. For Vino Gusto, Niepoort is far more than a great Port house: it is one of the most influential and exciting producers in Portuguese wine.
Winemaking Information
A traditional Douro field blend, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Francisca, Tinta Amarela, Sousão and Tinta Roriz, sourced from low-yielding vineyards in Cima Corgo. Grapes are hand-picked and predominantly foot-trodden in granite lagares before fortification. Tawny Dee ages for an average of around three and a half years in small, old oak casks in Vila Nova de Gaia, developing dried-fruit and nutty complexity.
