Niepoort Garrafeira 1977 shows a beautiful tawny colour with reddish hues with brownish nuances. It has a fine, elegant bouquet and intense aromas of red fruits, chocolate, toasted bread, citrus fruits with notes of dried fruit and tobacco leaf. In the mouth has a velvety texture, soft tannins with a great acidity.
Winemaking:
The grapes were de-stemmed, crushed and vinified, and there was a careful maceration of the musts in contact with the skins, in order to extract the maximum color, tannins, and aromas, complemented by permanent reassembly during fermentation. The fermentation took place in French oak vats at a controlled temperature between 30°C until reaching the desired sweetness point. Wine fortification occurred after the addition of the brandy, originating a fortified wine. It has aged in French oak casks since 1977.
