Fortified Wine

Intensely Amber coloured. Balanced notes of toasted almonds, dried figs and raisins, with delicate hints of vanilla and wood on the nose. Soft, dry and moderately spicy.

Light, pale, fresh, crisp, a delightful summer aperitif, and like the Inocente, should be tried with fish, which it accompanies much better than many of the classic matches (Chablis, Sancerre etc...).

Ruby Dum and Tawny Dee - the Niepoort 'twins' as reflected on the bottles. These wines come from the same lot, but over a five year period are aged differently so that the one is rich and ruby in style, while the other b...(read more)

The best PX available. So rich, so sweet and yet so moreish. (Must be tried poured over ice cream with raisins soaked overnight in PX)

The powerful primary fruit of this wine is beginning to evolve with age, making this an accessible young LBV, ready to drink now, but capable of ageing and developing for some years. Ideally served as an accompaniment to...(read more)

Beautiful light brick red colour and a pleasingly delicate shape. Lovely spicy, intense character, cherry and warm strawberries mingle with herbs and dark cherry notes. Light on its feet, but not shy in any way – lovely,...(read more)
