Where Niepoort's Ruby sits in big casks to protect its fruit, the Tawny goes deliberately the other way: three to five years in seasoned oak casks with enough contact with air to strip the purple out entirely, leaving a wine the color of brick and amber that tastes of walnut, dried fig and caramel rather than fresh berries. It draws on the same set of Douro red varieties grown on schist in the Cima Corgo, fortified with grape spirit partway through fermentation so it stays sweet. Niepoort's house style leans toward freshness and balance rather than sheer weight, which makes this an unusually easy everyday pour for a Port. Serve it lightly chilled, the way it is drunk in Portugal — the cool makes the nuttiness read as refreshing rather than heavy. And because the oxidative aging has already done its work, an open bottle holds up for weeks on the counter.

More about Niepoort

One of the last family-owned Port houses standing, Niepoort has been in the Niepoort family since 1842. Dirk Niepoort is the fifth generation of his family making Port—he cut his first vintage back in 1987—and now his son Daniel has joined to mark generation six. But Niepoort isn't resting on Port laurels; they're making unfortified table wines across multiple Portuguese regions, blending old-world Port tradition with new-world ambition. When a house can claim nearly two centuries and still feel alive, that's something.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Almond tart, crème brûlée, pecan pie, aged Gouda or Parmigiano — or just a handful of salted nuts after dinner.

Tasting Profile

Walnut, dried fig, orange peel and caramel. Medium-bodied and sweet without being heavy, with light tannin, refreshing acidity and a warm, nutty finish.
