Niepoort-Morgadio Da Calçada - Colheita Porto 2009
Region: Porto
Producer: Niepoort
Why we chose this wine
Velvety smooth port, the result of a long, patient aging in barrel. The typical ripening aromas of dried fruits, nuts and a range of tertiary notes are fully present. In special years such as 2009 the grapes of that year are not blended but marketed separately as Colheita Porto. Legally, a minimum of 7 years of barrel maturation must take place, but the quality houses mature their colheita much longer.
Preferably serve chilled with cheese or dessert; Can be stored for 1 month after opening. Keep in the fridge for minimum loss of quality.
It is a big misunderstanding that Tawny ports, like this Colheita, stop evolving once bottled, but in reality it is more than worth forgetting a few bottles up to 20 years in the cellar. The softness you get in this way is unsurpassed..

The producer
Niepoort
Dirk Niepoort's impact on the Portuguese wine landscape can hardly be overestimated. When he took over the helm from his father Rolf in 1990, as the 5th generation of the originally Dutch Van der Niepoort family, it was immediately clear that something was about to happen.
