PORTO NIEPOORT 1931 GARRAFEIRA ! ! ! Bottled ; 1938 Decanted ; 1979 The second generation of the Niepoort family, in the late 19th century, had the fortunate idea of buying from a german glass factory in Oldenburg about 4000 glass balloons (in the form of old apothecaries’ bottles) of dark-green glass with varying capacities from 8 to 11 litres. Eduard Karel Jacob van der Niepoort died early and it was his son, Eduard Marius van der Niepoort, Dirk’s grandfather, who gave purpose to the demijohns by bottling the best wines of the 1931 harvest, thus creating the type “Garrafeira Niepoort”. Region: Douro Brand: Niepoort Capacity: 75 cl Producer: Niepoort Alcohol: 20 % Awards / Distinctions: On the taste reveals a great mixture of sensations, aromas and flavours with a perfect balance between youth and experience, between the novelty of the fruit and the “good old age” that only long years of ageing can achieve. THIS IS IT FIRST " GARRAFEIRA " EVER MADE - 1931. FABULOUS ! Great Port Wine ! PERFECT! ! !
