The harvest of the grapes for this vintage 2019 from Niepoort started on September 2nd and ended in the month of October 2019. These 100% stemmed grapes were stomped in low granite vats in a granite mill to initiate fermentation. The brandy was subsequently added, after which the port rested over the winter. During the month of March 2020, the port wine was then moved to their cooler cellars, where the final blend of this vintage was poured into 550 liter casks, after which in July 2021 it was bottled.
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.
