wine serving
What are the serving recommendations and ideal drinking window for this 1997 Niepoort Colheita Port?
This 1997 Niepoort Colheita Port is a mature wine. We recommend serving it slightly chilled, between 12-16°C. While decanting is not strictly necessary, it can be done to remove any potential sediment. Given its age, an Ah-So opener is recommended to protect the cork. This wine is ready to drink now and can continue to age gracefully for many more years.
