Niepoort ‘Batuta’ Tinta Amarela Blend 2010 Size::1 Bottle Margaret River and Champagne toThe 2010 Batuta is sourced mostly from North facing old vineyards (Quinta do Carril, 70 years), although some old vines (100 years) from Niepoorts Napoles are also included. It was aged in 228 liter French oak for 22 months, only 30% new. Principal grapes of the old vines blend (as emphasized by the winery) include Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela and Rufete. Niepoort sums up this elegant bottling well by saying Batuta is a wine of extremes,
