Niepoort Bioma Tinto

Bioma Tinto is an organic wine crafted exclusively from 25-year-old vines at Niepoort's Quinta de Nápoles on the Douro, and embodies a minimalist approach to winemaking, aged in a repurposed Port wine vat to preserve its purity while imparting elegant, firm tannins with minimal oak influence.

This wine displays a deep ruby hue and the aromas form a rich tapestry of forest fruits, black plums, and cherries, interwoven with herbaceous notes that impart a refreshing quality. A pronounced mineral presence, reminiscent of wet stone, adds depth.

On the palate, the wine reveals impressive structure with robust tannins forming a solid backbone. Fresh fruit flavours perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity mingle with earthy and forest floor notes, creating a harmonious and multi-layered taste profile. The finish is remarkably long and persistent.

This versatile wine pairs excellently with a range of dishes such as roast beef with Yorkshire pudding and traditional Portuguese duck rice. It also enhances classic salted cod and duck breast dishes. For cheese pairings, soft varieties like Camembert, Sainte Albré, and Brie provide an excellent counterpoint to the wine's character.
