Unlike other producers who filter their LBV (Late Bottled Vintage) to make it more commercial and lighter, Niepoort maintains the tradition of bottling it unfiltered (or with minimal filtration). This allows the wine to continue evolving in the bottle and to retain all its structure and essence. It is made from indigenous varieties (Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, among others) from old vineyards and ages for 4 to 6 years in large wooden casks.

On the nose, it is an explosion of intense black fruit (plums, blackberries), with notes of dark chocolate, pepper, and a very elegant mineral and earthy background. On the palate, it is concentrated, with a dense texture and firm yet velvety tannins. It has a perfect balance between the sweetness of the alcohol and a refreshing acidity that prevents it from being cloying. It is a long, serious, and deeply satisfying wine.
