What is in this wine, and where it grows
The wine
Niepoort Colheita 2008 Wine (75cl) is recorded as a fortified wine from Douro, Portugal, but its grape variety is not yet confirmed in the catalogue.
The vineyard evidence
No verified vineyard or named parcel is linked yet. BottlePicker therefore does not assign a soil, elevation or site temperature to this bottle from its regional name alone.
Soil structure and vine density
No site-specific soil or planting-density record is available for this bottle.
Growing-temperature context
No cultivar temperature guidance is shown until the grape is identified.
Official geographic-register context
What the official register confirms about Douro
BottlePicker found an exact region-name match in an official wine or spirits register. This establishes useful regional context; it does not by itself prove that this particular bottle is entitled to the designation. Check the producer label and specification for that claim.

Historical Texas label approval
One official label approval has the same normalised product name as this BottlePicker record. These approvals pre-date September 2021 and help check identity, stated ABV and the responsible trade name; they do not prove that the current bottle has the same formula, remains registered or is available in Texas.

Matched by exact normalised product name; no label artwork is copied. Source: Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission approved labels (opens in a new tab) via the Texas Open Data Portal. The portal does not specify a reuse licence for third-party label artwork, so BottlePicker links to the official PDF and publishes attributed factual extraction only. No state endorsement is implied.
Source-supplied bottle description
Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.
The Colheita 2008 Port is a distinguished single-vintage tawny port from Portugal’s Douro Valley. Crafted with care and aged in oak casks, it reflects the elegance and complexity that only time can bring.
Production
This wine comes from hand-harvested grapes grown in the Douro’s steep vineyards. After fermentation, it was fortified with grape spirit and aged for over a decade in seasoned oak barrels. The long ageing process has given this Colheita a remarkable depth of flavour and a silky texture.
Tasting Notes
Deep amber in colour with golden highlights. The nose reveals layers of dried fruits, roasted nuts, caramel and subtle spice. On the palate, it is rich and smooth, offering flavours of figs, dates, toffee and hints of vanilla, balanced by lively acidity. The finish is long, warming and beautifully nutty. Food Match Perfectly paired with mature cheeses, roasted nuts, crème brûlée, or a simple slice of fruit cake. Also a delightful after-dinner sipping wine. Niepoort Wine and Port
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
