The Story

Vintage Port maintains Niepoort's tradition of making balanced Ports with great concentration, being at the same time fine and delicate. We strongly believe we can make a Vintage Port with potencial to last for decades. Vintage Port must be bottled within two or three years of the harvest date.

The magic of Vintage Port is different in every phase: as a young wine it captures the youthful fruit characters. Then, after 20 years or more, the ...

Wine Information

1992

At the time of declaration there was much debate as to the merits of the 1992 versus the 1991 Vintage and the majority of shippers at the time went for one year or the other, while Niepoort went one better and declared them both. The 1992 vintage continues Niepoort´s tradition to create balanced ports with great concentration but simultaneously fine and delicate.

Written Notes

Medium depth of colour with a red rim. On the aroma, starting to show some wonderful bottle age which follows through on the palate with a mild bitter chocolate character and fresh dark fruits. Good weight freshness and extract on the palate leading to a spirit dominated finish.

As with most classic Vintage Ports, the weather during the agricultural year preceding the harvest was near perfect, with low rainfall during the winter and spring, however the light showers that fell in June, the heavy rainfall during the last three days of August and the onset of cooler nights in September was invaluable in allowing grape maturity to proceed to completion.

The 1992 harvest initiated under favourable weather towards the end of September with only the odd shower towards the end of the harvest. Fruit quality was consistently good, with high skin to juice ratio in the fermenting musts and excellent aromas.

The Niepoort 1992 Vintage was sourced from small parcels of old Vineyards in the Pinhão Valley, and following ageing in our cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia, 53,000 bottles were bottled in the Autumn of 1994.
