Information about "Niepoort Late Bottled Vintage 2017"

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.

Treatment in the cellar

Die Trauben stammen aus Weinbergen mit niedrigen Erträgen in der Region Cima Corgo im Douro-Tal. Sie werden nach traditioneller Art in Lagares fußgestampft und Maischegärung erfolgt. Nach der fermentierung reift der Wein in großen Eichfässern und Bottichen in den Kellereien in Vila Nova de Gaia. Es ist Tradition bei Niepoort, die Abfüllung des LBV vier Jahre nach der Ernte zu beginnen, um die charakteristische Frische und Frucht dieser Weine beizubehalten.
