Niepoort Bastardo has a pale garnet color. The nose shows a fine and delicate aromatic profile: great freshness, aromas of redcurrant and cherry as well as the characteristic balsamic notes of the grape variety. On the palate, red fruit flavors appear, joined by hints of tobacco and spice. The structure is delicate and extremely elegant. Its balance, lingering acidity and almost piquant, beautifully linear finish makes this an extraordinary example of the Bastardo grape variety.
