Niepoort Rabbit Dry White Port

Part of Niepoort’s whimsical “Niepoortland” collection, Niepoort Rabbit Dry White Port is a sophisticated, beautifully fresh fortified wine crafted from traditional Douro white grape varieties like Códega, Rabigato, and Viosinho. Unlike many commercial styles, it undergoes extended skin maceration followed by a minimum of three and a half years of ageing in small, old oak casks in Vila Nova de Gaia.

Tasting Notes

Deep golden in colour, it delivers delicate aromas and flavours of toasted almonds and dry nuts, balanced by a vibrant acidity and a clean, spirited finish.

To Serve

• Serve Temperature: Served well-chilled at 10–12°C.
• Aperitif Pairing: Makes an elegant aperitif alongside salted nuts or charcuterie.
• Cocktail Base: Serves as the perfect base for a classic, refreshing Portonic.

Niepoort Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) 2021

Considered by winemaker Dirk Niepoort to be the “little brother” to the house’s classic Vintage Ports, Niepoort Late Bottled Vintage Port is an unfiltered, single-vintage fortified wine sourced from low-yielding, 70-year-old vines in the Cima Corgo. Traditional whole-bunch foot-treading in granite lagares followed by four years of ageing in large wooden vats yields a rich, complex Port with remarkable freshness and longevity.

Tasting Notes

Deeply concentrated, it opens with enticing aromas of fresh figs, red berries, and subtle floral notes, underscored by a bright hint of mint and warm spice. On the palate, a lush, sweet fruit core transitions gracefully into a drier, spicy finish supported by vibrant acidity and fine tannic structure.

To Serve

• Drinking Window: Excellent enjoyed now or but can be left to age further in the bottle.
• Food Pairings: Makes a superb match for blue cheese, mature Cheddar, or dark chocolate desserts.

About Niepoort Ports

Steeped in over 180 years of Portuguese winemaking tradition, Niepoort Vinhos remains an independent, family-owned icon now in its fifth generation under the visionary leadership of Dirk Niepoort. In 2021, the winemaking reins passed to the sixth generation, his son Daniel van der Niepoort, while siblings Marco and Ana have also joined the family business, ensuring the sixth generation is firmly at the helm.

Though one of the smallest Port shippers in the trade, Niepoort stands second to none in quality. Renowned worldwide for its legendary Tawny Ports and groundbreaking table wines, Niepoort has firmly established itself among the undisputed titans of Vintage Port.
