2015 Niepoort Poeirinho Garrafeira

Crafted for Connoisseurs: A Timeless Expression of Bairrada’s Baga Grape

Immerse yourself in Bairrada’s winemaking soul with this limited-release Garrafeira edition. Meticulously produced from century-old Baga vines—rooted in limestone-rich soils—the wine embodies regional terroir while defying traditional aging norms.

Why This Stands Out
✓ Heritage Terroir: Grown on 100+ year-old vines in Bairrada’s UNESCO-recognized viticultural zone
✓ Dual-Aging Mastery: 48 months maturation combining stainless steel freshness & oak complexity
✓ Unfiltered Integrity: Bottled without filtration to preserve natural tannins & fruit expression

Palate Journey
Fresh cranberry & wild strawberry aromas lead to a layered mid-palate featuring toasted almond nuances from malolactic fermentation. Silky tannins frame a vibrant acidity reminiscent of crushed river stones – a direct result of Bairrada’s chalky soil composition.

Cellaring Potential
While approachable now (drink 2023-2035), this wine reveals new dimensions after 10+ years of bottle age due to its concentrated phenolic structure and balanced pH levels.

Food Pairing Synergy
• Slow-roasted Iberico pork shoulder
• Mature Manchego cheese with cracked black pepper
• Mushroom risotto with truffle finish
