1992 Vintage Port Niepoort 75cl
As with most classic Vintage Ports, the time of the agricultural year prior to harvest was almost perfect, with little rainfall during winter and spring. However, the light showers that fell in June, the heavy rain in the last three days of August, and the start of cooler nights in September were invaluable in allowing the grapes to mature.
The 1992 harvest started with a favorable weather until the end of September, with only an unexpected downpour until the end of the harvest. The quality of the fruit was consistently good, with a high ratio of peel to juice in the fermentation of musts and an excellent aroma.
Vintage 1992 comes from small plots of old vineyards in the Pinhão Valley and continued to age in the cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. In autumn 1994, 53,000 bottles were bottled.
TASTING NOTES: Half-charged in color, with a red border. In the aroma, it begins to denote aging in the bottle, which remains on the palate, with a slight character of bitter chocolate and young black fruits. Good balance of youth and extract on the palate, leading to a dominant witty finish.
