Charmerende rødvin med burgundisk elegance. 96 point fra James Suckling!
Med Charme Tinto er fokus udelukkende på netop charme og elegance. Fra gamle vinstokke, hvoraf nogle er mere end 100 år gamle, kommer druerne til dette portugisiske mesterværk af en rødvin. Vinen gærer først i helklaser i stenkar, inden den overgår til franske barriques, hvori den lagrer i 15 måneder inden frigivelse.
Det endelige resultat er en livlig, elegant og chamerende rødvin, der giver mindelser om Pinot Noir fra Bourgogne. I duften oplever man friske blomster, røde bær ala solbær og kirsebær, samt et let krydret indslag. Det afdæmpede fadpræg er flot integreret, og den saftige og lange eftersmag munder ud i en sofistikeret helhedsoplevelse. Med Charme Tinto har Niepoort leveret en rødvin, der strutter af elegance og velsmag.

Hibiscus and cherry blossom with orange peel, peaches and other flowers. Medium-bodied with energy and focus. Very fine tannins. Zesty and resilient. Diamonds on the palate. It will develop beautifully. Give this four or five years to become even more refined. But already a joy to taste.

I was blown away by the elegance and subtleness of the 2021 Charme, I wine I know quite well and have followed from the first vintage (I think even a non-commercial release in the beginning). It's a red wine produced in Vale Mendiz where they make the Port, a mixture of vineyards from the village. It had a very short maceration of the full clusters in lagar, was pressed to barrels where it finished fermenting and was put through malolactic, was kept in barrel for nine months and then was transferred to the cellar in Quinta de Napoles. It has a very elegant and perfumed style, with no oak whatsoever. It's floral, with notes of red berries and herbs and a medium-bodied palate with refined, elegant tannins and a long and supple finish with a spicy twist (from the barrels? some 15% to 20% new). This wine has been changing through the years, and this has to be the most elegant version of it, following the path of the 2018. It has a moderate 13% alcohol with a pH of 3.56 and 5.7 grams of acidity. 9,700 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2023. Superb!
