Eduard Marius van der Niepoort, Dirk’s grandfather, gave purpose to the demijohns by bottling the best wines of the 1931 harvest, thus creating the type “Garrafeira Niepoort”. …

A truly remarkable piece of Portuguese winemaking history, this 1937 Garrafeira Particular Vinho Generoso represents one of the rarest surviving fortified wines from the pre-war era.
