This helps to conserve moisture and combat erosion, also contributing organic matter to the soil. These cover crops are a defense against weeds and offer an alternative habitat for insects, which are an essential part of the food chain.

Dirk has been at the helm of the company since Eduard Rudolph Niepoort's formal retirement in 2005. Dirk, born in 1964, discovered the world of wine during his studies in Switzerland. In 1987, Dirk joined his father, Rolf Niepoort, in the family business and was challenged to innovate while maintaining good traditions. The first important step was the acquisition of their own vineyards: Quinta de Nápoles and Quinta do Carril in the Cima Corgo, a region that traditionally produces the best Port wines. 15 hectares of vines were newly planted, and 10 hectares of 60-year-old vines were carefully maintained. Owning Quintas and vineyards in the Douro was an important step for the production of Port wine and for the creation of the first non-fortified Niepoort wines. Dirk's passion for wine, humble respect, and curiosity about the Douro terroir have defined the spirit of Niepoort for the past two decades and are a constant inspiration for the team. Dirk's sister, Verena, joined the company as CEO in 2005.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe fourth generation: Eduard Rudolf van der Niepoort. Rolf was born in March 1927. From childhood, he had a great interest in mechanics, but also possessed a good business sense. In 1950, he joined his father, Eduard, in the family business. His experience was a valuable asset, and he was able to overcome a difficult period financially. Rolf dedicated his interest to commercial and human relationships within and outside the company, and was conservative when it came to wine production. Rolf nostalgically remembers the production of a Vintage Port, the 1970 one, as if it were his own creation, from beginning to end. Currently, it is considered one of Niepoort's greatest Ports. Like all members of the Niepoort family, he is a great collector: vintage cars, antiques, and especially Portuguese weapons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe third generation: Eduard Marius Niepoort. Eduard was born on September 14, 1890, in Porto. He was extremely skilled and a born scientist. In 1912, due to his father's death, Eduard Marius Niepoort was obliged to join the family business. Rolf Niepoort, his son, remembers his father as a person \"interested in various areas, such as chemistry, physics, and mechanics, and was a man with a fine sense of humor.\" In the words of Elisabete, who worked with him and was already involved in administration at the time, he was a true \"icon of intelligence,\" an upright person who was very thoughtful in his decisions. Eduard Marius left the company as an active partner in 1980 and dedicated his time to his many hobbies and collections. Eduard Marius Niepoort passed away at the age of 91 (on June 3, 1982). His grandchildren, Dirk and Verena, remember his strictness regarding their studies and cherish the memory of a grandfather with endless collections of books, stamps, coins, and train tickets!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe second generation: Eduard Karel Jackob. Eduard Jackob was born in 1848 in Porto. Niepoort was already a thriving company when Eduard Karel took over the family business and continued the work of his predecessor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The first generation: Franciscus Marius van der Niepoort. The founder, Franciscus, was born in 1813 in Hilversum, Netherlands. He married Francisca Louisa Elisabeth Ehlers. Franciscus Marius came to Portugal to create the Niepoort company, a producer of Port wine. He founded the company as a Port wine seller, without owning land or vineyards. He was primarily a Port wine merchant. He died in Porto on March 7, 1887.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe art of Master Blender has also been passed down through generations.

She was born in 1811 in Régua, the gateway to the vineyards of the Douro Valley. Despite her small stature and reserved nature, Dona Antônia was charismatic, visionary, and entrepreneurial. She created new vineyard extensions, increased and improved the company's stocks of old wines, and contributed to improving the arduous lives of local farming families by founding schools, nurseries, and hospitals. Such was the affection of the population that they affectionately called her \"Ferreirinha\". Upon her death in 1896, she left behind a remarkable Douro heritage and an immensely successful business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eCasa Ferreirinha's major investment in unfortified wines would emerge about half a century later. Producing elegant, high-quality Douro wines, with the refinement and high aging potential of Vintage Port wines, became the dream of Fernando Nicolau de Almeida, who began working at the company early on, eventually rising to technical director. He selected the best grapes from the Upper Douro, full of richness and structure, and combined them with others from high altitudes, chosen for their acidity and aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThus was born, in 1952, Barca-Velha, an iconic wine that has since been produced only in the best years, considered one of Portugal's most long-lived, elegant, and complex red wines. The genesis of Casa Ferreirinha is, therefore, a true lesson in oenology, which determined the evolution of the wines of this house, enriched by the planting of Quinta da Leda from scratch, begun in 1979, where the grapes that allowed for increased and improved production are grown. Today, the Casa Ferreirinha line, produced under the guidance of winemaker Luís Sottomayor, ranges from youthful wines like Esteva or Planalto, through richer wines like Papa Figos, Vinha Grande, and Callabriga, to the exceptional Quinta da Leda, Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, and Reserva Especial, with Barca-Velha occupying the top of the hierarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n","brand":"Garrafeira Grande Escolha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53188640997713,"sku":null,"price":26.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/4122\/8625\/files\/dona-antonia-10-anos-white.png?v=1772539222"},{"product_id":"porto-quinta-da-devesa-white-reserve-1973-50cl","title":"Porto Quinta da Devesa White Reserve 1973 50cl ","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-15218 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/garrafeiragrandeescolha.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/devesa-logo-300x212.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"comp-kf3tn221\" class=\"txtNew\" data-packed=\"true\" data-vertical-text=\"false\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e Quinta da Devesa boasts a centuries-old history.

In practice, this means restricting, as much as possible, the type and quantity of treatments applied to the vines for pest and disease control.\u003cbr\u003e\n Prevention is key, and therefore it is essential to engage vineyard staff to gather information. The information obtained is used to conduct risk analyses and identify potential threats to the vines, in order to avoid the need for aggressive treatments.\u003cbr\u003e \nAnother beneficial aspect of agricultural management introduced by the viticulture team has been the use of ground cover, that is, sowing seeds between the rows of vines. This helps to conserve moisture and combat erosion, also contributing organic matter to the soil. These cover crops are a defense against weeds and offer an alternative habitat for insects, which are an essential part of the food chain.
