About Niepoort Batuta

Niepoort Batuta is a red wine coupage made with Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Rufete, Malvazia Preta and other varieties in the DOC Douro made by Niepoort.

The Niepoort family has been making Port wines since 1842. For years, Niepoort has worked with Noriega to make their wines. Since the very beginning, the winery has worked to unite tradition with modernity. They use traditional Portuguese techniques such as grape treading, fermentation in cement deposits or aging in pipes, 550-litre port aging barrels, and at the same time they use new technologies that allow them to take great care with the grapes. They have vines in different locations, some of which are over 100 years old, and their aging room Serpa Pinta in the town of Vila Nova de Gaia.

The main Niepoort Batuta vineyard, near Quinta do Carril, faces north with vines over 70 years old and there is another smaller plot with strains of about 100 years old near Quinta de Nápoles. They measure between 350 and 750 metres with shale soils. The grapes are harvested manually to make sure the fruit is fully respected.

The Niepoort Batuta vintage is selected in the field and only the best clusters are taken to the winery to ferment. It is vinified in stainless steel tanks macerating for a long time with the skins but with gentle extractions and staying in contact with the skins for about 60 days. Finally, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and ages for 22 months in French oak barrels, 25% of which are new.

Niepoort Batuta is a wine that was first launched in 1999. It is an elegant and powerful Douro wine with great aging potential.

2025

Niepoort Batuta 2025 transports you to the lush vineyards of the Douro with its intense aromas of forest fruits and ripe plums. Upon tasting, its profound flavours of blackberries and black cherries meld with an elegant hint of pepper and oak, a result of its meticulous ageing in wood. The 2025 vintage has been favourable, allowing for optimal grape maturation and enriching its structure. With well-integrated tannins and a balanced acidity, it is a wine that stands out for its complexity and character, ideal for those seeking to explore the authentic Portuguese wine essence.
2024

Niepoort Batuta 2024 is a gem for red wine enthusiasts seeking complexity and elegance. This wine presents a captivating aromatic array: ripe black fruits, such as blackberries and cherries, intertwine with delicate floral and spicy notes, highlighting black pepper and subtle herbal hints. On the palate, its concentration is balanced by a surprising freshness and refined tannins, which provide a silky and elegant texture. The evolution in the barrel imparts a mineral complexity that enhances its structure and depth. This wine is recommended for its balance and vibrant expression, offering a complete and rich experience that reflects Niepoort's philosophy.
2023

2020

Niepoort Batuta 2020 is a red wine that unfolds like a symphony of Atlantic landscape: crisp red fruit, a hint of wild mint, and the mineral trace of graphite and Indian ink. The sip is juicy and clear, with a volume that envelops the tongue in fine velvet; the tannins, polished and rounded, create an impeccable texture that merges with an almost marine saline freshness. Between concentration and lightness, a vibrant wild fruit pulses, sustained by an elegant tension that extends the memory. A Douro that masterfully balances power and subtlety, crafted for palates seeking nuances without forgoing immediate pleasure.
2016 Niepoort Batuta 2016 is a deep and concentrated wine, a little more so than other vintages. On the nose it offers aromas of berries as well as delicate floral nuances and a mineral character underlined by a touch of oak. On the palate it is distinguished and elegant with an acidity that rests on a firm structure of tannins. The end is long, elegant and seductive.
2015 Niepoort Batuta 2015 is the most elegant and light Batuta vintage. It offers austere aromas of forest fruits in perfect harmony with the wine’s minerality. Its time spent in the barrel gives it light touches of wood and spicy nuances. On the palate it is complex, silky, with plenty of vigor and tension, but it is also subtle with a good balance of concentration and acidity.
