About Vintage 2009

The Vintage Port maintains the tradition of Niepoort to create balanced ports with great concentration, being both fine and delicate. At Niepoort we believe that we have been able to produce a Vintage Port that can last for decades. Vintage spends about 2 years in large casks and then is bottled. The magic of the Vintage Port is different in each phase: while young wine it retains the character of the young fruits; after 20 years or more, the effects of slow bottle aging are revealed. In the mouth is sweet, which combines with its strong structure. The tannins are firm and long, but the set evidences balance. The Vintage Port should be decanted. It is perfect to accompany with Cheese of the Serra, Stilton or other blue cheese and with desserts with eggs, such as "pão de ló".
