Characteristics Niepoort Ruby Dum
Niepoort Ruby Dum is a red wine made with Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Francisca, Tinta Amarela, Sousão, Tinta Roriz and other varieties. It is made by the hundred-year-old Niepoort winery.
Niepoort is a Portuguese winery that was founded in 1842. It is currently run by Dirk Niepoort, fifth generation of the family it is named after. They use traditional Portuguese techniques such as grape treading, fermentation in cement tanks or aging in pipes, 550-litre port-aging barrels, whilst also using new technologies that ensure the grapes are handled with care. The winery has vines in different locations, some of which are over 100 years old, and an aging cellar in the town of Vila Nova de Gaia.
The Niepoort Ruby Dum vineyards have an average age of over 30 years old. The vines are trained using the Guyot and Cordón de Royat systems and are harvested by hand so that the grapes reach the winery as in-tact as possible.
In the winery, the Niepoort Ruby Dum grape ferments in presses and when it has reached the desired level, wine alcohol is added and it ages for a minimum of three years in large barrels in the Vila Nova de Gaia aging cellar.
Niepoort Ruby Dum is a pleasant and fruity port that is easy to drink.

Niepoort
This winery has belonged to the Van der Niepoort since 1848, when it was ceded by Eduard Krebe, who founded it six years earlier. Currently, the company is directed by Rolf van der Niepoort and his son, Dirk, the fifth generation. It is one of the most renowned Portuguese wine companies in the world, both for its quality —only 16 vintages classified as Vintage in 60 years— and for the great personality and inimitable style of its wines.
