- While the Niepoort family is world-renowned for its Port wines, those now only make up 25% of the winery’s production. That’s thanks to Dirk Niepoort, who took over in the late ‘80s, and now has hall of fame status in Portugal. Unlike most Portuguese reds, his are bright and super savory. This is a biodynamic, medium-bodied wine he makes with baga grapes from the region of Bairrada. Tastes like: Red cherry, strawberry, white pepper, clove. How to drink: Drink slightly chilled after opening for 30 minutes. Ideal with braised meat, spicy vegetables, and good with seafood too.
