Since 1842, the Niepoort family has worked to combine centuries-old tradition with innovation to produce distinctive ports and Douro wines. Dirk Niepoort is the fifth generation winemaker. Tawny Port comes from vineyards in the Cima corgo region in the Douro Valley. It ages in oak casks for 3.5 years, creating a port with delicate nutty aromas and hints of dried fruit.
