The wine year of 2014/2015 revealed a cold and quite dry winter. Spring and summer were quite dry and hot. Although, the month of August was cooler, which allowed the origin of extremely clean grapes.
In 2015, it was possible to get the purest fruit, which has resulted from the low humidity during the growth and harvest.
The best grapes were selected from the Pisca vineyard (40%) and from old vines (60%). Niepoort Vintage 2015 was therefore produced with the grape varieties of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Francisca, Tinta Amarela, Sousão, Tinta Roriz and others.
You can pair this Vintage with Serra da Estrela cheese, Stilton or other blue cheeses or with egg desserts, like egg pudding or sponge cake.
