Niepoort Sempar Alentejo

17.50

Dirk Niepoort is one of the most dynamic winemakers in Portugal. Born into a Port producing family he has been pushing the boundaries of Portuguese wines for over 30 years.

Sempar comes from one such exploration. Portalegre is a subregion of the Alentejo. Located toward the Northeast corner, it is home to some of the highest vineyards in the region, some of which look towards the nearby Spanish border. Alentejo has a long history of making wines in Amphora, it was brought to the region by the Romans and the technique has been in use since then.
