Parker about 10 Years Old White Port (0.375l)
The NV 10 Years Old White Port bottled in 2023 has a peachy nose intermixed with some nutty and spirity hints. It has concentration and power, with a classical style and was aged in an oxidative way that gives it plenty of nutty notes and with the extract from the contact with the skins. This is a fairly recent wine, because they didn't have enough stock of white Port. They wanted to show that white Port could be a serious wine, not something to make a fresh drink, with structure, complexity and age. It has 20% alcohol and 111 grams of sugar. 3,000 bottles produced.

10 Years Old White Port (0.375l)

Niepoort's 10 Years Old White Port is an exceptional port wine that embodies the Niepoort winery's distinctive craftsmanship and innovation in the production of white ports. Unlike the more well-known red ports, this white port is made from white grapes and aged for over ten years in small oak barrels, giving it its distinctive character and complexity.
This 10-year-old White Port presents a bright golden to light amber color, reflecting its long aging in wooden barrels. On the nose, it unfolds a rich and complex bouquet dominated by aromas of dried fruits such as apricots and peaches, accompanied by notes of honey, caramel, and roasted nuts. Additionally, subtle nuances of orange peel, vanilla, and a hint of spice can be detected, lending the wine additional depth.
On the palate, Niepoort's 10 Years Old White Port is rich and smooth, with a beautiful balance between sweetness and a lively, refreshing acidity. Dried fruit and honey aromas continue, supported by a silky texture that makes the wine soft and harmonious. The finish is long and elegant, with pleasant spice and nutty notes that perfectly round off the experience.
This white port is versatile and makes an excellent aperitif, especially when served slightly chilled. It also pairs well with a variety of foods, including aged cheeses, nuts, desserts like fruit tarts, or simply as a savory wine for special occasions. Niepoort's 10 Years Old White Port is an excellent example of the quality and craftsmanship this winery brings to its port wines, offering a unique and unforgettable tasting experience.
