Product information "Niepoort Turris Tinto 2014"
The young and intense, slightly light colour leads to a deep, clearly mineral and crystalline aroma. Impressive purity and finesse, fresh, red fruit, spring-flowery. On the palate fresh, silky, but with great tension. The combination of minerality and tannin structure gives Niepoort Turris Tinto a unique elegance and extraordinary complexity. The Turris stands out for its long finish, it is a wine to "chew" without being heavy and allows you to enjoy the past. The realization of a dream of Dirk Niepoort, the TURRiS comes from an old vineyard of more than 130 years, without any replanting, located south in the subregion of Cima Corgo, in the Douro. Apart from the fact that this is a unique wine, each bottle is unique, as each label is designed directly on the paper, individually by the artist João Noutel. At Niepoort Vinhos, they believe that the iconographic and metaphorical component of the creative universe of his work, which explores human paradoxes and contradictions in a somewhat ironic way, as the drive, the tension, the happiness, finds in TURRiS a similar creation of audacity and optimism, elegance and simplicity, in a perfect union of the present with the past. Each copy contains the reproduction of a detail of the labels, is individually numbered and signed by João Noutel. This partnership between wine and contemporary art reinforces the conviction that Turris is a very special wine, elegant, silky, with a truly unique complexity.

The grapes were harvested by hand and fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with 25% of the stalks. The contact between must and skins lasted 5 weeks, a delicate process with controlled maceration and little extraction. The Turris matured for 15 months in two very old (over 60 years) 1000-litre barrels, which were carefully transported from the Moselle. The wine was bottled without fining and without filtration.
