Niepoort’s Turris 2016, from century-old vines in the Douro’s Cima Corgo, showcases Dirk Niepoort’s finesse. Blending Touriga Nacional and others on schist soils, it reflects the balanced 2016 vintage. Fermented in lagares and aged 22 months in old oak, it shows deep ruby with blackberry, violet, and graphite aromas, plus spice and herbs. Full-bodied, it balances silky tannins, fresh acidity (5.7 g/L), and rich fruit with a mineral finish. Sustainable practices ensure authenticity. Perfect for game or cheeses, this rare release evolves through 2035. A pinnacle of Douro elegance.
