Average rainfall was low during the winter months, but to compensate, throughout the year the Douro, and specifically the Cima Corgo sub-region, benefited from two factors: the fact that the summer months were exceptionally cold and, in addition, the rain on August 26\/27 was very timely, allowing the fruit to finish ripening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In Vale de Mendiz, the grape harvest began on September 2nd under good conditions, and the last grapes arrived in the first week of October.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Every year is remembered for distinct and unique reasons, and 2019 will certainly be remembered as a year with incredible natural musts, balanced acidity, and a very cool climate, recalling the elegant year of 2008 - the perfect conditions in which the Niepoort style flourishes!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e Shale\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape varieties:\u003c\/b\u003e Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Francisca, Tinta Amarela, Sousão, Tinta Roriz and others\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/b\u003e Dirk Niepoort\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eExam Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eColor:\u003c\/b\u003e The appearance is marked by a wonderful dark purple border and a great depth of color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAroma:\u003c\/b\u003e The aroma is delicate and moderate, with primary notes of dark fruits and some spices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003ePalate:\u003c\/b\u003e The true style and potential of this wine come together on the palate, with a wonderful integration of dark fruits and a grainy tannic structure; an extraordinary balance between volume and elegance, resulting in an impressive finish.

The wines were racked shortly after the harvest, aging in the Douro Valley in barrels during the winter.
