Today, the winery is managed by Eduard Dirk Niepoort. Niepoort is famous for its classic Port wines, which are known for their depth and long-lasting shelf life. The grapes for Niepoort Port come from old vines in the Pinhão and Pisca valleys, which are over 70 years old and grow in shale-rich soil. The grapes are hand-picked and pressed in traditional lagares (granite vats). The fermentation process is interrupted by the addition of grape spirit while the must is still sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNiepoort Vintage Port 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e represents a classic and sophisticated vintage port from the renowned Niepoort house, known for its expertise and tradition in the production of high-quality port wines.
