The Fabelhaft Douro Tinto 2022, with 12.5% ABV in a 0.75-liter bottle, is a distinctive red wine cuvée from the Douro Valley that impressively bears the signature of Dirk Niepoort. Harvesting begins as early as September, as only grapes with freshness, acidity, and precise fruit are desired for this wine – overripe grapes are consciously avoided to preserve the vibrant style. After careful selection in the cellar, the grapes are destemmed, crushed, and fermented under temperature control. Subsequently, 15% of the wine matures for 12 months in second-use French barriques, while the remainder retains its freshness in stainless steel tanks.


The cuvée is based on typical Douro grape varieties such as Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, and other autochthonous varieties. The combination of mineral soils and the sparse terroir of the Douro Valley results in a wine that unites elegance, structure, and freshness. The 2022 vintage presents itself as particularly clear and lively, with medium density, fine tannins, and an invigorating acidic structure. The label also contributes to its uniqueness: the illustrations are based on Wilhelm Busch's story of the raven Hans Huckebein, which gives the wine an unmistakable, culturally shaped appearance. A versatile, modern Douro wine that convinces with clarity, balance, and a long-lasting flavor profile.
