The grapes used to make Niepoort Bioma vintage 2015 were picked in September 2015. These grapes are pressed into small granite vats to start fermentation. Then the brandy is added and the port rests over the winter. In the spring, port wine is then moved to a cooler place and poured into 550 liter casks, which is traditional for vintage. Somewhat unconventionally for this vintage port, this is aged for 3 years instead of 2 years which is normal for vintage port.
In the old days, Niepoort Bioma port wine was shipped to England to be 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.
