A colheita is a <strong>Tawny Port from a single vintage<\/strong>, which matures for at least seven years in the barrel. The 2003 epitomises the philosophy of the house: <strong>Elegance before opulence<\/strong>, Finesse instead of power. With 20.5% vol. and a pronounced residual sweetness, this port is nevertheless surprisingly balanced - a sign of the <strong>master craftsmanship<\/strong> by Dirk Niepoort, who combines tradition and modernity with virtuosity.<\/dd>\n<dt>Terroir &amp; origin<\/dt>\n<dd>The Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most <strong>most spectacular wine regions<\/strong> Europe. The steep slate slopes store heat and force the vines to grow deep roots. 2003 was a <strong>Exceptionally hot vintage<\/strong> in the whole of Europe, which produced concentrated, ripe grapes in the Douro. Niepoort sources its grapes from old parcels where <strong>Traditional mixing set<\/strong> is still lived practice - an increasingly rare cultural asset.<\/dd>\n<dt>Grape variety &amp; vinification<\/dt>\n<dd>The classic assemblage of <strong>Touriga Franca<\/strong>, <strong>Tinta Roriz<\/strong> and <strong>Tinto C\u00e3o<\/strong> represents the backbone of great port wines. Touriga Franca brings <strong>Floral flavour and structure<\/strong>, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) steers <strong>Fruit and body<\/strong> while the rare Tinto C\u00e3o contributes to the <strong>Complexity and longevity<\/strong> provides. After vinification with infusion, a Colheita matures for years in old barrels. <strong>Pipas<\/strong>, the traditional 550-litre barrels, where it is aged through <strong>Oxidative maturation<\/strong> develops its amber colour and nutty nuances. Niepoort focuses on <strong>Restrained sweetness<\/strong> and gives the wine time - often far beyond the legal minimum.<\/dd>\n<dt>Food pairing suggestions<\/dt>\n<dd>A Colheita of this class harmonises wonderfully with <strong>Blue Cheese<\/strong>, <strong>matured Comt\u00e9<\/strong> or <strong>Manchego<\/strong>. Just as recommendable: <strong>Cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e<\/strong>, <strong>Walnut tart<\/strong> or <strong>dark chocolate desserts<\/strong>. In Portugal it is also enjoyed with <strong>roasted almonds<\/strong> or as a meditative end to a meal - served slightly chilled at 14-16\u00b0C.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ul class='wine-character-bullets'>\n<li><em>Niepoort Colheita 2003 is an exceptional single-vintage Port wine, matured in cask for at least seven years according to the traditional method, capturing the essence of the outstanding year 2003 in the Douro Valley.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>\ud83c\udfa8 Colour:<\/strong> Bright amber red with golden reflections and greenish nuances on the rim<\/li>\n<li><strong>\ud83d\udc43 Flavour:<\/strong> Complex nose with dried fruits such as figs and apricots, caramel, roasted nuts, honey and spicy wood notes<\/li>\n<li><strong>\ud83d\udc45 Flavour:<\/strong> Velvety, elegant palate with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, flavours of dried fruit, orange peel, spices and a long, harmonious finish<\/li>\n<li><strong>\ud83c\udfad Character:<\/strong> Refined and multi-layered with impressive complexity, silky texture and the characteristic freshness of a Colheita despite the opulent sweetness<\/li>\n<li><strong>\ud83c\udf7d\ufe0f Food recommendation:<\/strong> Cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e, blue cheese such as Roquefort, walnut tart, foie gras or as a digestif<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u2728 Special features:<\/strong> Colheita port wine from the outstanding 2003 vintage, barrel ageing lends oxidative complexity, limited single vintage bottling from the traditional Niepoort house<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"featured_media":212740,"template":"","meta":{"bwfblock_default_font":"","neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","neve_meta_reading_time":"","_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false},"product_brand":[4590],"product_cat":[3563,4589],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-183472","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-niepoort","7":"product_cat-luxusweine","8":"product_cat-niepoort","9":"pa_farbe-rot","10":"pa_inhalt-750ml","11":"pa_jahrgang-2451","12":"pa_restsuesse-edelsuess","13":"pa_sorte-tempranillo","14":"pa_sorte-tinto-cao","15":"pa_sorte-touriga-franca","16":"pa_typ-likoerwein","17":"pa_typ-port","18":"pa_typ-suesswein","19":"show-hover","21":"first","22":"outofstock","23":"taxable","24":"shipping-taxable","25":"purchasable","26":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Porto Colheita 2003 Niepoort | Lebendige Weine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Samtiger Colheita Porto 2003 von Niepoort mit Aromen von Trockenfr\u00fcchten, Orangenschale &amp; Gew\u00fcrzen.
