Niepoort Batuta 2010

North facing very old vineyards from Quinta do Carril are the main source for Batuta, but grapes from older vines (about 100 years old) near Quinta de Nápoles are also included.

Batuta results from a very delicate vinification, where the alcoholic maceration is led to the extreme and where all the details are taken into account in order to obtain this very complex, fine and elegant wine.

Very intense and vivid color. Complex nose, full of plums and red fruit aromas, spicy notes of black and green pepper and elegant notes of the local Mediterranean bushes.

Strong mineral character and smoked meat aromas. Very elegant on the palate with great freshness and firm structure with velvety tannins. It is subtle with intense fruit flavors and impressive acidity. Great persistence which will last for many years in the  bottle.
