Description
Batuta is one of the most acclaimed wines produced by Niepoort. This wine comes mainly from very old vineyards with an average age of 60 years, specifically from Quinta do Carril and another vineyard nearby. These lands, located in the Cima Corgo region and facing north, have the particularity of being crossed by underground streams, which makes them less dry than other areas of the region.
The red grape varieties used in its production are: Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz.
Winemaking
The quality of Batuta wine depends to a large extent on the climate each year. After the harvest, the grapes were vinified in stainless steel tanks, with macerations varying between 7 and 35 days. The wine was then aged in French oak barrels, specifically François Frère, for 18 months. The limited production for this wine is 5,000 bottles per year.
Taste
Batuta is described by Dirk Niepoort as a wine "very dense and compact, austere, full-bodied, with strength and concentration: a wine for many years". In terms of tasting notes, it stands out for being distinctive and powerful on the nose with great concentration of black fruits.
