Turris is the materialization of a dream of Dirk Niepoort. Coming from a very old vineyard totally untrained, lost in the heart of the Douro region expresses every little detail of Nature and its terroir. South-facing, in the area of Cima Corgo and planted for over 130 years, this is one of the oldest vineyards in the Douro that we know. The harvest takes place in August. The fermentation took place in a stainless steel vat, with 25% stalk and the period of contact between the solid and liquid parts, lasted for 5 weeks, in a delicate process, with a very light maceration and little extraction. It ages in Fuders, over 60 years old, brought from the Mosel region in Germany. The wine is bottled early to maintain its freshness, minerality, youth and aromatic purity, and is expected to age very well in bottle. Turris 2013, aged 20 months in Fuders and 18 months in bottle. It presents a young and intense color, deep aroma, of great complexity, markedly mineral and crystalline. It impresses with purity and finesse, with very fresh red fruit and notes of spices. In the mouth it is fresh, silky but vibrant and with great tension. The balance between minerality and tannic structure results in a unique complexity and elegance. Violet in colour, with ruby touches, the Turris 2016 is surprisingly fresh and precise. It has a very spicy aroma, with notes of pink pepper, very mineral, combined with the graphite of the schistous soil, and black fruit of blackcurrant. In the mouth it impresses with electricity and elegance, with a very persistent finish. It aged 12 months in Fuders and 24 months in bottle. Besides being a matchless wine, each bottle is unique, since the label was individually designed by the artist João Noutel. Available to order!
