Description

The Moscatel Do Douro 5 Anos, Niepoort is characterised by its unmistakable Muscat aromas, with floral and citrussy notes with hints of nuts, spice and honey adding further complexity. The palate is of quintessential Niepoort style: excellent structure, high acidity and a long finish which emphasises its delicate and refreshing character. This wine is reminiscent of an Auslese-style wine and is ideal as an end to a beautiful dinner after various wines and Ports have been enjoyed.


Dirk Niepoort is one of the Douro’s quirkiest winemakers and is never shy of innovation and experimentation.  He also has a deep love of tradition and has chosen to release some fortified Moscatel, a grape variety which has a long tradition in Portugal and has been grown by Niepoort family since the 1920’s. The grapes are harvested early in order to retain their natural acidity and 100% whole bunch fermented in traditional lagares.  The wine is fortified and then aged in primarily old casks (Portugues Pipes) and 10% new French Oak.

2022 Clos Le Comte Cuvee Emilie, AC Sauternes

White Blend

The Clos le Comte is a tiny, organically farmed vineyard that produces wonderfully elegant Sauternes.  The grapes are harvested after several passages through the vineyard ensuring that only the very ripest grapes are selected.  Wonderfully ripe, concentrated and complex fruit aromas. The rich bouquet shows notes of dried fruits, almonds, apricots, fresh citrus and peach blossom. Well structured on the palate with a viscous density resulting from the high levels of botrytis. Beautiful acidity gives excellent lively freshness to the spicy notes on the long finish.
