Senior Tawny Port, Niepoort, Douro, Portugal
This is a great example of the Tawny Port style; the wine is aged for an average of 8 years in barrel, during which time, it loses it’s dark red colour and takes on a gorgeous tawny hue. The flavour is amazingly complex, with rich layers of dried fruits and a lovely nuttiness that stops it feeling too sweet. Delicious chilled as an aperitif as well as being a great wine for cheese (washed rind St Cera or creamy Isle of White Blue!)
