Niepoort Garrafeira 1987 Port – rare Garrafeira Port with elegance and depth

Niepoort Garrafeira 1987 Port is one of the most unique and sought-after port wines from the Douro. The Garrafeira style is a historical specialty of Niepoort. It combines classic barrel aging with a long maturation in glass demijohns. The result is a port with great finesse, complexity and a unique aromatic development.

This 1987 Garrafeira Port was first aged in wooden barrels for four years. Then the wine was transferred to traditional glass demijohns. Here it matured slowly over many years. It was only bottled in 2018. The long and special aging process gives the wine a unique balance between freshness, depth and ripe character.

In the glass, the wine is elegant and complex. The fruit is still vibrant, but it has developed a beautiful ripeness. The long maturation gives fine nuances and great aromatic depth. This makes this port a special experience for collectors and port lovers alike.

Tasting notes

The aroma is intense and refined with ripe fruit notes. The taste is rich and fruity with hints of prunes, raspberries and roasted hazelnuts. There are also fine hints of fresh herbs from the garden. The acidity gives the wine life and elegance. The aftertaste is long, complex and balanced.
