Following a hot dry summer, grapes were in good condition at the time of harvest, if somewhat on the ripe side. Some dense coloured wines were made, ideal for a long period of ageing.

Tasting Notes:
Typical Niepoort Garrafeira style, youthful with a vibrant dark cherry colour but starting to show a seductive amber hue. Slightly fruity on the nose, as a result of only 4 years in casks before being transferred to Demijohns. Showing early stages of bottle maturation, with hints of tobacco and delicate candied fruit. Fresh and vibrant in the mouth, with a beautiful balance between sweetness and acidity. Hints of delicate berries, a long and smooth finish.
