Wine for sale: Niepoort

While his ancesters only traded wines, Dirk Niepoort decided to buy some vines in 1987 and start producing ports and still wines himself. Today, his creations are known around the world.

Recognised across the world for his Port, Dirk Niepoort manages this 62-hectare domain in the sumptuous Douro domain. Once he took over the family domain in 1987, Niepoort set himself the great challenge of growing his own vines, whilst his family had always bought grapes from elsewhere. This was a success: his dry wines are now as sought-after as his Port. Why? They are especially classy, with a surprising finesse for the region.
