Niepoort are an independent family business and have been since 1842. Through five generations, the business passed successfully from one Niepoort to the next Niepoort and in most cases older and younger generation worked side by side for a long period. At this time, we are enthusiastically looking forward to the future sixth generation, anticipating close collaboration. In the glass, the Batuta displays a radiant ruby red hue of medium intensity. The aromas on the nose are rather reserved and youthful, with hints of redcurrant and blackberries mingling with a mineral character and subtle touches of wood. An elegant palate reveals vibrant flavours and well-integrated wood harmonising beautifully with fresh red fruits, leading to a light, long and linear finish. This Batuta is still very young and somewhat closed, but promises excellent cellaring potential. We recommend decanting the wine an hour before drinking. 13% ABV
