About this Item

Vintage Port, 1999
1 (1 x 1) 1500ml

Multiple award-winning 6th generation producer owned by the Nel family, who established the Calitzdorp district in the Klein Karoo and gradually built it to world-wide fame for the quality of its Port-styled wines produced outside of the Duoro valley. Cape Wine Master and Cape Winemakers Guild member, Carel Nel, is extremely knowledgeable about the category of Port, and is crafting (now along with the next generation) a consistently brilliant style of fortifieds from authentic Portuguese varieties that adapt well to this warm and dry region.

Critics Ratings

‘1999 was a cooler vintage; 1999 has more grunt and grip with a beguiling violet fragrance, hinting at the Touriga in the blend with Tinta Barocca; it is still remarkably young.’ – Angela Lloyd, grape.co.za (Jun 2011)

‘Medium-weight Port, with blueberry cobbler and briar notes and a raisined finish. Drink now.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator (Mar 2002)
