Niepoort was started in 1842 by Franciscus Marius Niepoort as an independent family business and has been so for over a century and a half. It is 5 generation Eduard Dirk Niepoort and Verona Niepoort who run Niepoort now. Eduard Dirk has been at the helm since 2005. Niepoort has always aimed to have 2 generations working together in the winery to preserve the style they have in the wines.
At the same time, the Master Blender has also been passed down from generation to generation at Niepoort, and here it is also the 5th generation José Rodrigo who is the Master Blender at Niepoort, who started at Niepoort back in 2006.
