Niepoort Vertente 2020 is a full-bodied red wine from the Douro Valley of Portugal. Vertente is crafted from vines aged over 35 years at the Niepoort family`s Quinta de Nápoles, as well as from old vines on the slopes of the Pinhão River, where Touriga Franca, Tinta Amarela, and Rufete thrive. The mature vines enhance the wine`s elegance, while the younger fruit imparts a vibrant freshness. Consistent with the Niepoort style, the Vertente evolves with each vintage, becoming progressively finer, more elegant, and displaying a more linear profile.

The 2020 Tinto Vertente combines Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca and others from the DOC Douro and was aged 18 months in French oak barrels. Garnet in color, it offers aromas of ripe plum and blackberry fruit, along with wild herbs and an oaky layer. Dry, rich and juicy, it offers firm tannins as the palate lingers on its dark fruit tones.Joaquin Hidalgo8th February 2024
