Niepoort Vintage Port, Syndicate 12-Bottle Share, 2024

Est. delivery in autumn, 2026 Our first Syndicate Barrel of Port: Niepoort 2024, the highest rated (WA) estate port from the greatest vintage since 1970. 2024 Niepoort Vintage Port £768 in bond per 12x75cl share Syndicate back label London Tasting with +1 (date TBC) Larger formats available (with supplement) Dirk Niepoort is, by some distance, the most important figure in Portuguese wine. When Luis Gutiérrez expanded his Wine Advocate brief to cover Portugal for the first time, his opening article was dominated by Niepoort — "the most influential person in Portuguese wine — a pioneer, visionary, leader and ambassador." Of the 255 wines reviewed, the top ten (all 96 points and above) were all Niepoort. 2024 is the first general declaration since 2017, and Niepoort's is the highest-rated estate Port of the vintage. This is not a blockbuster; Dirk himself describes it as elegant, vinous and beautifully balanced, closer in spirit to 2017 than to a monster year, and speaks of it in the same breath as the legendary trio of 1945, 1955 and 1970, the all-time greats. That balance is exactly what gives it such extraordinary ageing potential. View the short video on instagram.
