Bioma Vinha Velha is a single vineyard Vintage Port, rather than a single Quinta. The Vinha Velha refers to the extraordinary age of the vines at Vinha da Pisca, mostly exceeding 80 years old. The intention is to offer, in very small quantity a style of Vintage Port which is more akin to the very best English bottled Vintage Ports of 1970 and before. The exceptional fruit quality from the ancient vines of the Pisca Vineyard appears to express its sense of place quite wonderfully when we apply the logic of older times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Niepoort","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30872451088497,"sku":"11052_G3","price":69.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/5962\/products\/niepoort-bioma-vinha-velha-2015-vintage-port-01.jpg?v=1571305979"},{"product_id":"rubydumhalf375cl","title":"Niepoort, Ruby Dum Port (Half-Bottle)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGet to know: Niepoort, Ruby Dum Port (Half-Bottle)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark red in colour with a fresh vibrant aroma of dark fruits which follows through on the palate along with an almost mineral character, a youthful wine with good extract and great balance, offering superb \"drinkability\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReady to drink now, after a meal on its own or with soft cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProducer Info\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith time, Ruby Dum retains its youthful, strong character, dominated by red cherries and plums with great freshness from ageing in large wooden vats in the cool cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia.

Brilliant slightly chilled, the sort of red we hand to anyone who thinks they “only drink white.” Properly versatile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boutinot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31532134170737,"sku":"2524_C3","price":13.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/5962\/files\/SAVE5_Mix_Matchany6_70.png?v=1765452842"},{"product_id":"paintedwolfguillermopinotage","title":"Painted Wolf, Guillermo Pinotage 2021","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGet to know: Painted Wolf, Guillermo Pinotage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beguiling wine with rich, spicy red berry and black cherry aromas, evident ripe tannins and a long, complex finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine drinks well in youth but will improve over time, gaining additional complexity for at least six to eight years from vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProducer Info\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes were hand-picked into small baskets and taken to the cellar. After four days cold-soaking, approximately 30% was whole-bunch fermented in open bins and hand punched four times a day. The rest was fermented in a rototank. No commercial yeast was used as these grapes ferment well with their natural yeast. The wine matured in a mixture of French and American oak barrels for 18 months, 25% new wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuillermo’ Pinotage is named after Painted Wolf's good friend Billy ‘Guillermo’ Hughes.
