Charme Niepoort 2017

A traditional Douro red blend of varieties including Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca. Made in traditional stone lagares with 100% grape stems, Charme’s elegance is achieved using grapes from very old vineyards in Vale de Mendiz, on the banks of the Pinhão river. The 2017 vintage offers up delicate aromas of sweet cherries and strawberries with a subtle aroma of old barriques providing a superb rustic character. On the palate pure primary fruit aromas come through, especially cherries, with a silky texture complemented by a rustic notes from the old barrels, lending the wine length, structure and a long, refreshing finish.
