Niepoort

A family house founded in 1842, Niepoort consolidated its reputation as a producer of Port and Douro wines. In recent decades the family, including figures such as Dirk Niepoort, has expanded the business to include still Douro wines and acquired several quintas (including Quinta de Nápoles, Quinta do Carril and Vale de Mendiz). The historic cellars for aging Port are located in Vila Nova de Gaia.

Combines respect for tradition with an innovative spirit: emphasis on terroir, attention to biodiversity and projects oriented toward sustainability (including biodynamic approaches and experimental movements such as Nat'Cool). Seeks a balance between historic methods and modern practices.

Douro region (particularly Pinhão/Cima Corgo), with historic cellars and aging sites in Vila Nova de Gaia. Presence and projects also in other Portuguese regions such as Vinho Verde, Dão, Bairrada and Alentejo.
