Robustus is a tribute to Dirk Niepoort's first wine in 1990 but never released. Robustus is made since 2004 and today according to the traditional customs for making red wine in the Douro. The long aging in the old wooden barrels gives this wine its complexity, soft tannins and its unique precision and balance, while maintaining its liveliness and aromatic freshness
The 2019 Robustus is a wine with a mature character. After a long ageing period in 2000L foudre barrels, tertiary, somewhat earthy aromas and notes of truffle.
The tannin is seductive and perfectly balanced, with the tremendous structure that only old vines are able to provide. The palate impresses with its youth, lightness and tension. A wine full of elegance, with a long, persistent finish.
