Niepoort Port, Non Vintage

Niepoort VV
Very Old Tawny Port

Description and Reviews:
Niepoort VV is one of the rarest and most extraordinary wines produced in the Douro—an exceptionally old tawny blend crafted from casks that have been ageing in the Niepoort lodges for many decades. Deep amber-mahogany in colour, it opens with a profound, richly layered bouquet of walnut, dried fig, orange peel, polished wood and fragrant spice. The aromatics are intense, refined and endlessly complex, showing the unmistakable character of ancient cask-aged Port.

On the palate, VV is concentrated yet ethereal, delivering a seamless wave of caramelised fruit, dried apricot, roasted nuts and hints of molasses and balsamic warmth. The acidity is remarkable and gives the wine incredible lift, balancing the richness and carrying the flavours across the entire palate. The texture is silky and weightless, with the sweetness perfectly integrated after decades of slow, oxidative ageing.

As it evolves, further layers emerge—sandalwood, antique spice chest, almond brittle, tobacco leaf and hints of savoury salinity. The depth is extraordinary, and each sip reveals new dimensions. The finish is exceptionally long, resonant and almost haunting, lingering with dried citrus, spice and old-wood complexity that only comes from true multi-generational ageing.

A legendary and profoundly moving Port, Niepoort VV is produced in minute quantities and represents the pinnacle of tawny craftsmanship. It is perfect for collectors, special celebrations or contemplative enjoyment—an unforgettable wine that speaks of patience, tradition and the remarkable heritage of the Niepoort family. If you seek one of the most unique and historic expressions of aged Port, VV stands among the very finest.
