Niepoort

Niepoort is a renowned Portuguese winery founded in 1842 by Fransiscus Marius van der Niepoort in Porto, in the heart of the Douro region, and has been family-run for five generations. It is known for its historic Port wines as well as for its high-quality dry wines produced in the Douro Valley and other regions of Portugal.

Over the years, Niepoort has acquired several vineyards, including Quinta de Nápoles and Quinta do Carril in the Cima Corgo subregion, to cultivate its own old vines, some of which are over 80 years old. The winery thus produces a wide range of red, white, rosé, and fortified wines that reflect the diversity of the Douro’s schist terroirs and the family’s approach to winemaking.

Under the leadership of Dirk Niepoort, the company has expanded its focus to include modern dry wines, with vintages that combine elegance, finesse, and tradition, while maintaining a reputation for excellence in Port wines—some of which are considered among the finest and most age-worthy.
