Turris is Niepoort’s flagship red wine from the Cima Corgo region, more specifically from a very old South-facing vineyard whose vines are more than 130 years old , it is one of the oldest vineyards we know of in the region. This truly ancient, uncultivated vineyard lies hidden in the heart of the Douro Valley and is a true gift from our ancestors and refelcts every detail of nature and its area.

These grapes from the Torre were always intended for one of Niepoort top wine Batuta and were a dream come true from Dirk Niepoort. The Turris was bottled quite early to preserve its freshness, minerality, youthful nature and the purity of its aromas and we expect it to show great aging potential.

In addition to being a unique wine, each bottle is also unique because the labels were individually designed by the artist João Noutel.
